Similarly w.r.t racing - I have no problem with press conferences, but a mandatory press conference isn't really any good. The only time that it's worth watching is when they're all in a good mood and there is some banter. But then again most of what you hear in a press conference is just useless. Much of this I believe has to do with the absolutely inane rubbish they are asked (sometimes leads to quite funny retorts - but most of the press conference seems to be garbage) - hence you see people in F1 like Kimi so obviously disinterested in the press conference circus. On a side note, if I recall correctly the Stig, in Top Gear, was not supposed to speak - because I believe Clarkson said "opinions of racing drivers are worthless". And with people like Lando Norris gaining popularity due to his direct social media interactions - the press circus seems more irrelevant than ever. This just seems to be a vindictive attempt by traditional media to keep their hold over the coverage ...
