Ditto the First two comments. Having not watched F1 for years - and making an exception yesterday because of all the hype around the Hamilton vs Verstappen contest, what struck me most was the visual similarity with either (a) a video game, or (b) a Scalextric race. Were there actually drivers in the cars? Racing under lights on a synthetic middle eastern (could have been far eastern for that matter) track increased this impression of unreality for me. In fact it was a surprise to see that the spectators in the grandstand were actually alive and moving!
