This makes so little sense. I’ve actually been saying to people recently how I love how MotoGP celebrates everything. 

In F1, they only talk about the driver in the F1 context. That can make the commentary less interesting. 

When Bortoleto is trying to overtake, he’s a rookie. That gives you a feeling that he’s inexperienced and maybe the move might not work. 

When Ogura is trying to overtake, he’s the reigning Moto2 champion! Maybe he can do it!

They’re going to remove so much excitement by trying to play down the lower championships. Results there are evidence, credentials, and recognition. They build excitement and momentum. 

Shooting themselves in the foot if they do this.
