'Can it seat more than one driver?' Twitter in fits over Nida Yasir's F1 query

While Twitterati had a field day, the primary focus should have been on how Yasir was unprepared for the show


Entertainment Desk September 04, 2021

Popular morning show host, Nida Yasir, has once again become the butt of jokes and trolling after a clip of an old interview recently went viral on social media. In 2016, Nida invited two NUST students who had invented their own Formula 1 racing car. Abdul Aleem and Mohammad Shariq Waqar had joined the host in hopes to shed light on their project but were left dumbfounded with Nida's questions.

In the said video which has been making rounds, the Naadaaniyan star can be seen asking the guests about how racecars really work. The host goes on to inquire whether the Formula cars can seat more than a single person. To which, Aleem responded, "Actually, it is a formula car. So only one person can sit." Nida then quipped, "Oh, so it's just a formula for now? Have you done an experiment on any car?"

The engineers were left baffled, however, without losing composure, responded, "No, it's a formula car. We've made one. It's a racecar." Nida then questioned, "So, does it drive as fast as a petrol car?" 

And thus, the trolling began. 

Some, however, spoke in Nida's favour and gave her the benefit of the doubt. 

While learning is subjective, a veteran host like Nida Yasir shouldn't need reminding that researching about your guest is imperative. Whether it is an area of expertise or not, one should be aware enough to hold an informative discussion. If not done so, it really shows the lack of interest on the host's part.
