Pros
+ Having some sort of plot outside of the romance
+ Includes some technical details about F1 rather than just mentioning races in passing

Cons
- The mafia-esque organization came out of nowhere and doesn’t make sense in the context of the series.
- Completely unbelievable that a shady company would choose to put itself in the spotlight by owning an F1 team.
- Karl was deeply unlikeable, not just a ‘bad boy’ but an asshole for no reason
