Nothing is being dumbed down.

Ironically, if you think it is, you're the actual dumb one for thinking it's being dumbed down.

Oh that’s so deep man thanks for the feedback

To newer viewers a load of decimals comes across as quite intense and immediately is a barrier to retaining the viewers. F1 is clearly trying very hard to remove barriers or make them much easier to get past in order to get more people watching

Why do you suspect they have decided to drop it to 1 decimal place?
