I don't know why this made me laugh so much. I kind of feel badly for Checo.

That’ll get the mean British media off your back Ben.

I hate to break it to him, but it's not just the British media against him and Saudi Arabia.

Someone should maybe tell him Saudi Arabia really doesn’t have the best rep with the rest of the world 😂😂😂😂

Does anyone watch Formula E? Curious who in the US may tune in to that instead of maybe the most compelling playoff game.

Only occasionally. The boosts are kinda gimmicky (I think they at least got rid of the fan boost?), and they haven’t figured out to shoot the races so they look exciting. F2 is much more entertaining.

I think they should do it with E-bikes...

If you need something to tide you over until the season starts. Daytona Rolex 24H did not disappoint. So fun watching the overnight highlights in multi-class/endurance races. Loved the overnight GTP BMW/Porsche battles but Penske's 963 makes it two straight years.

Incidentally, never thought much of Felipe Nasr in F1 back in 2015-16 but he seems to have found a home in GTP. And Nick Tandy is the GOAT of 24H races. Winning Daytona makes him the only person to outright win all four major 24H events, Le Mans, Nurburgring, Spa and Daytona.
