> A Formula 1 race weekend is never boring: even when a specific team or driver is a clear favorite

F1 weekends are frequently extremely boring. They are 3 day long events where you're waiting for moments that last seconds and more than often don't occur. Confirmation bias tends to make people think F1 is an exciting thing, and the owners of the sport would like to keep it that way.

I spent the last decade shooting a photo project on this very thing, that F1 is actually pretty mundane, visiting 25 races in the process: https://www.formulanon.com/ # I'd followed the sport for 20 years prior to that, so had run out of enthusiasm for it, the project kept that interest going for a little while longer.
