the lack of respect for the mechanics and engineers bothers me. they only get respect when people think of triple headers and the long schedule. they deserve your respect when the cars are not working well. no one is more frustrated at the issues in these cars than the people who have poured hours of their lives into building them. yes, they are there to win but they are also there to do jobs. and everyone deserves some respect at work. you think WE are gutted when george's car breaks down or checo's breaks are on fire again? not nearly as much as the mechanic who gave the all clear on the pu or who adjusted those breaks before the car was sent out. the pitcrew that lost .2 of a second, on a 2.1 second pitstop, are already gutted without hit pieces about how they have to move fasted when they are already doing it HALF as quickly as they did 15 years ago. we talk about how we don't want ai and machines taking over our sport, well maybe there should be more thought and respect for the aspects of it which are beautifully flawed and frustrating and human.
