The F1 Paywall Issue (Hot Lap #5)
0Ross Brawn thinks sprint qualifying is the way to attract younger fans with shorter races.
I think there are two things way more important than race length: the quality of on-track racing, and the ability watch the races live without having to subscribe to an expensive TV service.
In this Hot Lap I talk about the F1 paywall issue, why I hate it, and why many of us who do are still part of the problem...
If you missed the last Hot Lap about sprint qualifying attracting younger fans (according to Ross Brawn and Lando Norris, anyway) you can WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/ZEYxH6qAIsA
Welcome to The Hot Lap, where I give my take on an issue or story from motorsports. It might be a Jos Verstappen pitstop take, or a tyres after a safety car take, but either way it will be a FAST TAKE. So let's go for a hot lap...
I'd love to hear your takes on this issue in the comments. Just be kind and respectful - we can disagree without arguing and being horrible!
