I can't believe Ferrari didn't let Charles do donuts. In the past they have said it was about the weight or lack of fuel for the mandatory test but I don't really see them running around on the edges after the race is over picking up the rubber to 'increase the weight of the car' post race anymore so who knows. Because Ferrari understands that it's tacky, high school and too much like silly end-zone dances. Act like you've done it before, and you plan to do it again, not like some freckle-faced schoolboy shouting "Look, Ma! No hands!" Why did F1 drivers think it was cool to adopt some silly NASCAR-style cracker brag?

I'm not sure what is thrilling about watching a car disappear in a cloud of smoke while risking the death of an engine. Granted, it is the last race of the season, so the resale value of this particular model just tanked, but Indycar makes a huge deal out it after every race, and I sense F1 moving that way. Add to that the T&A American pre-race ceremonies and Hamilton's "fashion" statements. At least someone made him rein in his unseemly racism. As entertainment, F1 should be able to stand on its own, and I think it can. If not, it says more about fans than the sport.
Since you cite the No Fun League, the strutting and trash talking is the only fun part of a dull and tedious game.
BTW, didn't Ricciardo once do donuts on the helipad atop one of Singapore's hotels? Now THAT, if true, takes cojones.

Because it is fun. Same reason you celebrate the end of the season with a party.

Still immature and tacky.

Since when have celebrations been required to be 'stately, serious' affairs. Those that are against celebrations, have never had anything to celebrate.

But donuts just look too NASCAR and NFL. Something to impress the rubes in the stands.
Sorta like some drivers' nose studs and excessive tats. And I'm counting you, too, Kimster.
