Let me put it this way, this story isn’t making any waves at all outside motor racing circles, just as that one didn’t outside wrestling circles. If you were to ask Joe Bloggs on the street they’d have no idea who, say, Charles LeClerc is.
You’re looking at this from the angle of it being bigger because it’s causing ripples where you look/read/listen whatever, but that’s a very blinkered way of considering it. It wouldn’t be a bigger story because it just isn’t. They’re both huge stories in their niche.
