A time penalty isn't exciting for the audience

It feels a little like Liberty Media is more interested in creating a show than a sport.

They got exactly what they wanted this weekend. Hamilton fighting his way from the back of the grid. Twice. And a Max vs Lewis battle.

You can rewatch all the drama in a few months on Ice Road F1 Drives. Only on Netflix.
