Why booing isn't bad for F1
The fans who booed Nico Rosberg on the Belgian Grand Prix podium came in for criticism. But EDD STRAW argues that F1 has to accept it if it's serious about improving the so-called show
Fan engagement, or the lack of it, has become a preoccupation in Formula 1 this season.
So it seems perverse that, when a group of fans made their feelings towards Nico Rosberg known by booing during the Belgian Grand Prix podium ceremony, there was widespread hand-wringing about how terrible this was.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of booing at sporting events and never have been. But there's an important distinction to be drawn between an individual thinking they would not have done something and arguing that others should not be allowed to do it.
