I donβt understand why everyone is saying the racing was great here. All overtakes were either slipstreaming behind another car or under breaking at the end of a straight. Sure it makes for a lot of overtakes, but not really that exciting after having seen the same move done a couple of times.
Also, why was the cool-down room a Rolls Royce and not an American car like a Cadillac? Seems like a missed opportunity to promote more Americana.
Rolls Royce probably considered to be more of a luxury vehicle as it's foreign and known for the build quality and finish
Agreed the racing was poor, just slipstream and DRS, which I noticed Karun called "drafting" today...
Or maybe another sign of non-support for GM getting a team in F1 π€£
