Kyle Larson shares take on “not super exciting” Formula 1 despite global appeal

Kyle Larson shared candid thoughts about Formula 1 during an interview with Pat McAfee. Acknowledging F1’s massive global appeal, Larson said that he doesn’t find the on-track racing in Formula 1 to be “super exciting.”

"The racing, the racing, is not what we are accustomed to in America. Like, I think you're there. It's crazy how big it is because, yeah, you're right. Like, it's not super exciting, but I think it's the stuff outside of it, the celebrities that are there, the engineering, the money, just everything about that, you know, the big brands, you know, on the cars and stuff."

"But, you know, I feel like NASCAR and IndyCar here in America, like, you can't find much more exciting racing what we have here, so I'm fortunate to get to run both of them, but I would definitely never turn down the opportunity to go," Larson added.

Kyle Larson attributed the sport’s popularity more to its glamorous atmosphere — celebrities, engineering prowess, big brands and money — rather than the racing itself. Larson contrasted that with NASCAR and IndyCar, which he believes offer far more exciting and competitive racing for fans in America.
