tldr; waste of time, don’t watch. or at least skip the first 5 minutes.
I was an F1 fan for a long time and finally stopped a couple years ago. A LOT can be said about how F1 sportwashes petroleum and theocratic dictatorships. That’s what I was hoping this video would be about, but it’s barely mentioned at all. This is a poorly structured and superficial critique of F1 from someone who is obviously not very familiar with it.
First of all he starts the video not with an attempt to summarize the point, but by saying he’s so smart, has books, and the typical “like and subscribe” influencer shit. It literally takes 5 minutes for him to even start trying to make a point. Then it’s another 5 minutes of word salad focusing mostly on F1’s pointlessness and excess, which is hardly unique among popular forms of entertainment, including social media influencers.
The first five minutes was satire, the “experts” sit in front of bookshelves to display their “smartness”, talk at people their “truths” to be taken on faith, and go through the rituals of asking to like/subscribe to their channel.
The pointlessness and excess of F1 racing is the point, it’s the culmination of all human culture, experience and meaning. We try to look for deeper meaning to life truth whatever, but there is none, the meaning is on the surface. That’s all there is, all that ever was and ever will be.
