The race promoter has to pay F1 whether or not anyone shows up.

I'm four races into learning about F1 and I buy that.

Am I getting this right? You've got two guys who are at the top, team red bull. From what I can tell, at Miami they could just crash into each other, DNF, and still hold the lead. That's friggin' wild, man.

Do the standings tend to even out and seem a little less ridiculous mid-season, or is this basically just how it goes?

Another fairly recent twist that compounds the issue was the introduction of budget caps. So Mercedes can't buy themselves out of their mess. Most everything is set in stone. Also in the interest of cost reductions testing time is cut way back as well. Unless you find some clever accounting with catering expenses.

F1 gives different things to everyone. The politics. The circus. The technology. The absurdness of it all. Oh yeah, forgot.to mention the three or four races a season which end up good.

There's so much poo poo wrong it is part of its charm.

Trying to buy yourself out of a mess with big bucks wasn't always guaranteed to work either, see Toyota F1

And yes, to really enjoy F1, a level of disdain for this stupid sport is necessary.

It helps to be a sicko that loves schadenfreude and gently caress ups. I loved Spa 21 because it was hilariously dumb and horrible, and I spent it posting here and with friends about how dumb all that poo poo was. People who like “racing” were mad but lmao they were watching formula 1 in the first place. Watching Ferrari do strategy poo poo that you can tell is wrong from your couch at home is hilarious. Baku this year was bad but it did give us the Tsunoda tire roll shot.

It’s just a circus. Sometimes you get an actual killer race but you basically subject yourself to a year of bullshit with weekends of horrible predictable, boring racing, and even the little flashes of something special filter back to boring computer aided strategy calls. You really have to appreciate the good moments when they hit.

What's the fastest way to spin up on F1? I impulse bought super expensive tickets to the Monaco Grand Prix which includes a "Reception with legendary driver" so I figure I should kind of know something about F1.

look around you, where's the nearest wall

now stand up, back yourself up as far as you can go while having a clear path to the wall

run as fast as you can, head first into the wall

now you're ready to properly enjoy F1

The upside is it's more socially acceptable to drink through the boredom.

This is excellent advice and if you don't have much room, you could always put your teflon pan over a burner set as high as it will go and enjoy the fumes.
