This is like the argument that football is exciting because it's a highly strategic sport: the most interesting and exciting things about it are happening on the sidelines in the coaches' heads while 40% of the time nothing is happening on the field.

So if the most exciting part of the race is the engineering that went into the car, then what's the point of watching the race? You'd be probably be more interested watching Bill Nye.

Testing is also a part of engineering like dusten didn't just build a super sonic baseball gun and just left go yea I built that no he actually shot it sirusly we don't just engineer random shit for the sake of engineering something we engineer to make a thing to accomplish a task so of course we're going to want to see these machines used that's what engineering is all about like imagine if we had pro soccer players get ready for the game and we just cut straight to the end of the game

Like I said, some exciting racing. There was a photo finish (0.053) for the podium last race!

But for someone who is a nerd about it, some of the most exciting parts are Thursday and Friday when the teams show up with upgrades. Seeing it come together on a Sunday is awesome, but sometimes less dynamic.

If you want insane racing, just watch motorcycles

To me a lot of games seem like they're going from one end to another constantly with sudden passes to the opposing end.

Haven't watched that much but some WC games

I think they were talking about American football.
