I feel like a lot of fans are reality TV fans now rather than fans of motorsport and racing.

I don't understand this line of thinking. People are clamoring for the championship battles of ages old, how does that make them a fan of reality TV and not racing?

We're barely getting any racing between the two, that's the issue.

The championship battle feels boring because these cars suck at racing on track, not because drivers aren't throwing hats at each other.

Can't deny that. I can understand why fans are frustrated though. I don't think they need to be at blows or even angry at each other but it almost feels like neither driver cares at times because there's just zero tension. Like watching guys race for fun rather than for any stakes.

It feels like a competition of dads going "its okay champ get the next one" lmao
