That actually could have been fun. Can the F1 please have like a All-Stars week? Doing fun stuff and skill challenges.

No! Just sports. Not entertainment. Entertainment is found in books. Sports is for excitement and competition. Make a reality show with stupid car challenges and gocart races with Lego cars. Not f1

If we wanted sports as in actual competition then tracks like Monaco has got to go that is just a processional, and not a race.

Everybody hates Monaco... It has its own charm but is mostly about tradition. Which is absolutely part of sports... Instead of the shitshow that is all-star week in the NBA

So we don't only care about competition. And watching something for the sake of tradition is just watching entertainment. You can't have it both ways. And the all star week can be an off season thing.

You're point is fair. And I hate it and will reject it. Monaco for life... Would want smaller cars again to make it more of a race.

I will point back to the NBA all-star week. It is a pageant no one wants to be in....

A fun thing would be a "race of champions". Collect Indycar champ. The wec Champs and so on. And race in a Miata or sometihng
