F1 In my eyes a slightly more serious sport than WWE.

Nonsense  

 

I mean, look at the Netherlands. I grew up watching Jos Verstappen at the end of his F1 career (born in 1990, so mostly started watching from 1996-1998 or so, when I used to watch the start and then go to my room and ask my dad to call me if there was a crash ). When I was 10+ years old, I was watching the full races and was seeing the likes of Christijan Albers and Robert Doornbos struggle in piss-poor cars in the back of the field. Two Dutch riders in F1 at the same time, that was amazing! Doornbos even with a few races for Red Bull, which at the time was an 'ok' team, cool! We were used to the Dutch riding for Minardi, Jordan or, ugh, Spyker.

 

In all those years, up to at least 2012 or so, never did I have any remote hope to ever see a Dutchman get a podium, let alone take a win. Or well, I had hope that would happen like 'one day', but nowhere in the near future. Then came Verstappen in F3, destroying the field there. Sure, he didn't take the title, but those who watched those races know it's because of tons of technical issues and such, when his car wasn't breaking down, he was obliterating the field, especially in the rain.

 

All of a sudden, he was going to ride for Toro Rosso as a teenager, and we got a Dutchman scoring points, wtf! Before we knew it, he went to Red Bull and I can still remember the chills my dad and I had all race and especially at the end when he was actually going to win the race, history  I felt similar to when the Dutch football team was about to reach the World Cup final in 2010, like, 'what the hell, am I actually going to see this happen?!'.

 

And here we are, three world titles and a gazillion wins later  

 

Just to say: I have no doubt at all a Brazilian is going to win an F1 race again at some point, and absolutely 100% sure a Brazilian is going to drive in F1 again  Felipe Drugovich, Rafael Câmara, Gabriel Bortoleto, a random Fittipaldi, and that's just drivers who are already doing well in the junior categories now and in the past 2-3 years, there's no doubt plenty of more coming from Brazilian F4 (Mattheus Comparatto, Alvaro Cho, Ethan Nobels, even his sister Aurelia Nobels) and karts.

Meanwhile Mercedes has confirmed Kimi Antonelli has their second driver for 2025, to replace Lewis Hamilton (who moves to Ferrari). Nice to see a top team giving a chance to an entirely new driver, instead of putting someone in one of the lower tier teams first.

 is the most successful nation in F1 but I grew up watching bad drivers in the early 80s being beaten by good  drivers

And then there were good  drivers again...

And soon there will be good drivers from
