I haven't watched any pre-race coverage for years. I don't feel like I'm missing out.
Yeah and getting a random actor/actress' opinion has zero bearing on the race to me, so if said random person doesn't want to participate, what have we all lost out on? Nothing. We are simply manufacturing controversy here for no reason. Again though, just my opinion.
I think you are all getting it wrong. The content they want is the content they got, on this occasion. The fact that it has gone viral is proof of this.
Martin is a bit less energetic these days than he used to be but he's knowledgeable enough to know that that was all he was likely to get from that interaction and here we are talking about it.
The worst thing would be to lose the classic British dry wit and not have the sarcasm!
Exactly. I've been watching F1 since the 80s but I find the grid walk too cringey to watch. I don't find it adds anything of value.
