#2This reminds me of a principle I like: Once you understand your key traits and the key things customers come to you for, it's good to embody them everywhere!
F1 is largely about speed. (I fondly remember going to various races as a child with my grandparents, in Melbourne. Everyone seemed in awe of Schumacher). So of course your website should be about speed!
This could then apply to everything: ticket turnstiles that measure themselves on time per guest scanned, food vendors that do the same thing, websites that measure and rank on speed.

I actually strongly agree with this philosophy because it’s about fostering a certain culture.
But as a counterpoint for the sake of argument, money and time spent on optimizing the website could be better spent on the actual race related stuff. So that might be where the optimization is happening.
In reality, it’s probably the simpler explanation, that they know how to hire mechanical engineering talent and just see IT as a cost center (and a nuisance) so probably are cheap in that department.

The website does not fall under the budget cap, there is plenty of money to go around which cannot be used for racing anyway.

>F1 is largely about speed.
Not since a long time. It's about creating endless regulations to please big teams, sponsors and advertisers. 2026 cars will be even slower than before.

#7>Squoosh lets you disable subsampling for JPEG and AVIF, but it can't be disabled for WebP, as the format doesn't support it. To work around this, the WebP encoder has a "sharp RGB to YUV" option which tries to limit the impact of subsampling at the cost of some colour bleeding. I used that option above.
This is something that I truly hate about WebP, thankfully AVIF exists and it's supported by all major browsers.

This seems reductionist. There's plenty of other reasons people are F1 fans: the spectacle, the wealth, the prestige. While speed is certainly a draw for a lot of fans, speed can be at odds with the some of these other traits. For instance I took my son to qualifying in Miami, and while we both thoroughly enjoyed it, qualifying is quite short, and not nearly as exciting as watching it on TV. My son's first comment was: they don't seem as fast in person.
We ended up kicking around the track for a few hours taking in all the sights and experiences and he enjoyed that a lot more.
I guess my comment is, speed is important, sure, but don't give me a plaintext website either. There's a balance between speed and entertainment value.
