Can we all agree it's just silly and pointless unlike motorsport that's cool and interesting
Speaking of the words "and" and "or," Google automatically ignores these and other small, common words in your queries. These are called stop words, and include "and," "the," "where," "how," "what," "or" (in all lowercase), and other similar words—along with certain single digits and single letters (such as "a").
Including a stop word in a search normally does nothing but slow the search down, which is why Google excises them. As an example, Google takes the query how a toaster works, removes the words "how" and "a," and creates the new, shorter query toaster works.
If you want these common words included in your query, you can override the stop word exclusion by telling Google that it must include specific words in the query. You do this with the + operator, in front of the otherwise excluded word. For example, to include the word "how" in your query, you’d enter +how. Be sure to include a space before the + sign, but not after it.
On the other hand, sometimes you want to refine your results by excluding pages that include a specific word. You can exclude words from your search by using the - operator; any word in your query preceded by the - sign is automatically excluded from the search results. Remember to always include a space before the - sign, and none after.
For example, if you search for bass, you could get pages about the type of male singer or about the type of fish. If you want to search for the type of singer only, enter a query that looks like this: bass –fish.

Not like watching brightly colored cars running around in circles for 4 hrs. or tightly regulated so that the same driver keeps winning.
That being said I enjoy watching most of them, some more than others.

Thanks for your timely response. That pretty well sums it up.
She's probably in interrogation right now, being grilled. 
I was hoping to do a news update other than the virus- and google seems to suck at "news -coronovirus -covid19 -covid-19"
I'll have to try Edge and it's host searcher.
The easy news is about sports.
We seemed to have missed St. Patricks Day altogether. That's a shame. And today is St. Joseph's Day. The tradition is to eat Zeppolas on this day.
(I've posted this on a couple other threads today, but ... Zeppolas are spectacular, perhaps 2,000 calories. If you share one with twenty friends, then you're OK.
The president of the US Soccer federation resigned last week
This took place after it became known that his organization's defense in a lawsuit by the US Womens soccer team (the one that wins all the world cups while the men can't quality from the weakest bracket on the planet) was... "they're not as skilled as the men".

And apparently headed lower. This, gentlemen, is news that matters.
But the price of motor oil never goes down.

There was a somewhat well known (in some areas) political figure found drunk in a hotel room full of meth a week or so ago. Probably would have been significant news.
