Why do we enjoy anything? Interests are developed rather arbitrarily from my experience. In 2018 I saw some of the races and developed some kind of fascination with it, it wasn't unknown to me but we didn't really have channels that showed it before so I knew about Räikkönen and Schumacher and things like that but not really anything specific, around the end of the season I started being quite interested. A factor here is definitely that Israel won Eurovision in 2018 and it caused a void in my freetime as I completely abandoned something that had been my main interest and hobby for nearly a decade, it just died that day. Hockey alone wasn't able to fill the void, and hockey and F1 didn't really happen at the same time. During 2019 I quickly found what team I wanted to do good, always the underdogs obviously and McLaren had just finished a pretty shit season which makes me go like uwuwuwuw McLaren and the two drivers for McLaren really got my attention and made me happy so it escalated from me being like orange is nice to being like this is fantastic
