But of course, there's a lot of criticism at the moment as well, because

You can see, like at the last race, they go down the straight through a flat-out bend and have to downshift after the bend whilst they're still on the straight, because their battery power switches off.

And they have time to get on comms and say, power gone.

So, of course, that, from a spectator point of view, is a bit awkward, when you're supposed to be going flat-out with the highest-performing Formula 1 car.

Nevertheless, I'm a bit more easygoing on that because from my point of view, as long as there's great battles, intra-team, other teams into the battle, hopefully Ferrari can use this gap now to close up to Mercedes.

McLaren was there already now in the last race.

So if we get a really cool battle there, then I think all the fans won't mind what the technology is and will just love and appreciate the racing and the battles.

And what an amazing story.

We have 19-year-old Kimi Antonelli, the ultimate underdog, is leading this world championship three races in.

So that's wonderful.

He has so many fans.

Even yesterday at the conference here in San Francisco at Human X, loads of Mercedes and Kimi Antonelli fans as I was walking up on stage.

So it's nice to see him.

Wow.

Wow.

Holy shit. Good for you. This used to be an extremely dangerous sport. You had people dying every year in these tiny little cars with no roll cages, et cetera. But over time, it's become incredibly safe. The number of people dying went from a couple dozen a year in the 50s, 60s, 70s. And now it's gotten incredibly safe. How scary is it to drive in those cars?

And how do you get over that fear of death?
