It's not really a high octane sport that you feel the need to be glued to every second of like the NFL or (round ball) football at its best - it's more of a relaxing, comfy thing to have on while you kick back and have a couple of beers, or in the background while you're doing something else but ready to pay full attention again when something big happens.
It's more like test match cricket, where there's a long, meandering novel of a story being told, but you don't feel like you've needed to watch every second of it unfold to have a good enough background to appreciate the high points when they come along in the context of the game.
In terms of pacing, it works a bit like an F1 race. You have long sections of little duels while the overall status quo is mostly maintained, with sections of play, as with the pit windows in F1, where you know you should pay more attention as things could alter more quickly. And much like F1 where Latifi could bin it at any moment and there's a safety car to turn things upside down, there's always the possibility that the next pitch could be smashed out of the park at any given time and the game is instantly blown open.
