Bernie definitely chased the money; but he also killed F1 through fan expansion. Which he probably could have chosen one or the other, and he chose billionaire dollars because that is how he saw the sport. Elites and big dollar sponsors. Not Jimmy and Bucee's.

I'm saying I'd like to hear his take on the fan experience now, but I'd really like to hear 90's/00's Bernie have a take on it.

Hopefully they do after Vettel just ran Nigel's FW14B with "carbon neutral fuel"

Giving it a 60% chance




I'm on record at 50%. I'm not sure how 60% is mathematically possible, but I'm sure Ferrari could find a way.

Eta: NM. Read your post wrong. I'm saying 50% of their PUs blow up.

Really unfortunate starting positions for the Haas bros. Definitely interested in seeing how far KMag can get up the grid. He's had some good pace so far. I'd wager Mick moves up as well.

Nice to see Vettel is bringing a diverse group of new F1 fans.

She's 6'1" with a British accent and a nice bod.

Kinda want.

Much better than the other broad F1TV has on for pre race.

For the race tomorrow, getting to the points may be difficult for either Haas car. SC's seem fairly uncommon at the painted parking lot so it may take some carnage at the first turn.

Agree with all of the above, I just can't do butterfaces.

I'm assuming overtaking is traditionally hard here? Never watched a race at this track so I have no clue.

It's actuallu not been a bad track for passing in the past, so with these cars it may be even better.

I did note the Haas cars are close to the RB's for top end speed here, so that may play well for them moving up as long as they don't destroy the tires.

Mick hasn't looked fast all weekend though, so it may be all on KMag tomorrow as far as scoring points unless Schu's switch gets flipped like Perez's did today.

Willy T. Ribbs sighting. He's doing driver interviews for the dirt track racing on CBS.

Now any company that buys F1 has no choice but to chase the money at the expense of the traditions, the racing, and the fans. It's 100% Bernie's fault.


College football is going through the same issues. Traditions and fans be damned for the all mighty dollar.
