And and

And that is a little bit how I viewed this season.

And it's gotten better.

But then if you look at all the monetization and looking at basically the circus around it, I I sometimes and you hear it from these F one drivers, let the sport be involved in the sporting side as well.

And uh and Madrid is just, I think, that was the one where they really

really went too far and they create an Instagrammable race with La Monumental and yeah we can see that that that um social media engagement because of that corner but there were twenty one other corners and none of them gave us any overtaking.

So that's that that's the balance they need to strike.

It's what they need to strike with the calendar as well.

But you cannot argue

you about the financial health everybody is in in F1 and we're benefiting from this as well.

So to just need to find a way to give the sporting side the credibility it needs and deserves.

I do believe in Madrid they were struggling with cameras because of all the amounts of steel in the buildings.

I saw don't know if you cat uh caught on to this on on Thursday when they did their their testing with the safety car, they were having a lot of problems getting signals through.

So I think that impacted as well camera positions.

But uh uh finally and I don't want to knock my home race, but Zanford's quite a prime example of

of this where they extended the fanzone because they wanted to create a f a festival, which in effect had the um effect that we couldn't get F two and F three to that race because there was enough enough pedoc space.

Now I love Zandvoort, I love that race to bits, but if you were there this year there was a lot of empty space on the track, a lot of empty time on the schedule, and there could have been F two and F three.

But

the festival nature of it took over from the sporting side and this is just what we need to be careful of and um my end of my rant basically.
