We must inspire creativity in the youth!
Re: F1 "trophies" in 2019
It's all for telly now, like what little NFL I've seen in the USA. You've got to get the airtime segments right - and which camera men zoom so much when they perhaps realise the trophies are bad?
I wonder what Hamilton does with all his trophies. Prolly in the loft, right?
(I too don't really watch F1 these days - but I still really like the Channel 4 commentary during the race and q3. I'll watch it if it's on. Don't like the danger aspect any more [getting old] so that puts me off - a lot).

I have certainly watched fewer races since Liberty Media took over. The intro still feels like a Superbowl commercial.
The whole thing definitely feels more "plastic".
Re: F1 "trophies" in 2019
Did you see how they did the podium this weekend?
Vettel and Bottas walked up onto the podium as normal and then Hamilton was raised up out of the floor in front of them, stood on top of his car throwing peace signs into the sky. It was so cringy!
Re: F1 "trophies" in 2019
I kinda lost interest once Nigel Mansell was off the cards.
Some friends still watch avidly, so I get to hear about how awesome an awesome dude the awesome Kimi Raikonnen is... and how skilled Hamilton is, despite him basically saying that the cars have gotten so good nowadays that it's pish-easy and requires no skill any more....

There are other colour gorilla's too, for other podium places.
Imagine the honour.....
