    My interest in F1 actually goes down the more middle east races they add. I didn’t watch any of them this year, only the Europe, Asia, and America races.

      How come? There were actually a few decent races.

      I totally get it if it’s for human rights reasons though.

        I mean, I know my one view isn’t actually going to make a difference, but yeah, this. Especially Qatar and Saudi Arabia, I’m just not okay with them trying to sportswash their human rights violations.

          Fair enough. All you can do is be the change you want to see–every bit makes a difference.
