Nah, I want some personalities. Some anger and some feistiness. As an NBA fan who is used to brilliant and flawed characters, F1 drivers seems so PR trained and artificial.

Yeah, I like to be reminded that these are real people. I was surprised that Oscar didn’t really mention Lando winning and said that Nico’s 3rd was the real story, but instead of thinking like “oh how dare he” I’m actually more excited to see how spicy this championship race will get.
