F1 Chose Spectacle Over Sport and Fans Notice
Sao Paulo, 2008. The season finale. The broadcast alternated between track and garages with surgical precision. Felipe Massa crossed the line first, the crowd’s roar audible over screaming engines. Cut to the McLaren garage where tension gripped every face as...
