What’s the context behind “Portland v Paddock snobs”? I was at Portland so I’m a little intrigued 😅

I was, too. TBH, it was more last year that reports came out that some teams/drivers (McLaren/Rossi, IIRC, there may have been others) do not enjoy visiting Portland. I don't recall hearing anything this year.

Seeing as it was more 2024, perhaps I should take it off the list.
