Meh
It is in some worlds but as it’s owned by Liberty Media it’s a bigger deal
They are all spending tons of money to watch a pre-determined outcome namely how far ahead Max Verstapprn finishes ahead of everyone else.
Most if not all drivers have said track is a joke (it is) but are careful to not say it while they are there and it’s all mostly for big money to schmooze with each other.
If you want an experience that still might be worth it go to Monza

And they denied an American team linked to General Motors (Cadillac) because they would dilute the 10 other teams share of the yearly payout $$. In addition to capex required to ramp up and start a team the FOM (Formula One Management) via an older but updated document called the Concorde Agreement makes any new team put up $200m to enter. This is split amongst the existing teams to counter any potential dilutive effect of splitting all $ 11 ways. Now they are trying to make any team come up w/ $600m to enter so they have to update this agreement to reflect that so basically a sport owned by an American company doesn’t want a new engine manufacturer (Andretti would have to lease a Renault engine until ‘28) plus the legacy of the only American to ever be F1 champion (Mario) who went to Congress earlier this week on this. They are qualified and funded and have demonstrated success in literally every other form of motorsports. Someone high up doesn’t like Mario and/or Michael (Michael pretty much a brat so I see that but pops Mario is cool and never forgot where he came from)

I spent 25 years around this and other forms of professional motorsports
The last bit after the Liberty Media link to BOD is exactly what they are doing because as mentioned someone has a grudge against the Andretti’s
Mario is a 45 guy and wouldn’t be surprised if they have an extended chat/photo op
Michael pissed off many people because of his entitlement attitude so this likely why they were denied but Mario is a sit down and have a beer with guy (done it a few times) and always had time for ANYONE because he knew where he came from and was dirt poor so he gets it….Michael notsomuch
This is Zak Brown CEO of Mclaren and also heavily linked to Andrettis pic #3 and from what I’ve seen is a nice guy
He and one other was the only team boss to support Andretti Auto sport entry into F1
Brown took over Mclaren from Ron Dennis who sealed his own fate by setting up Max Mosely (well he set up the filming of it) with his Nazi orgy thing that got out. This was in response to being fined $100m for another scandal involving Ferrari tech data/manual taken by Race Director and given to McLaren designer. The Mclaren designer’s wife took manual to kinko’s to be copied and that is how Ferrari found out
