This maybe more then anything else is why I watch. The numerous ways this one sport intersects with so many areas of human endeavour and commerce that I enjoy leaves me continually intrigued.
In that light, if newcomers find it hard to understand…well
I’m ok with that. Also aware how pretentious that is but not everything has to be for everybody right?

I totally agree with this. Sports should never be dumbed down and made less good to allow new fans to understand everything in their first race. Enough of F1 is very clear that you can enjoy a race without understanding all the rules, and if a new fan doesn’t understand something like DRS or the safety car rules it just takes a Google search to find out.
