I disagree. If you want close cars, watch a spec series. Most of the fun is in the engineering. It's an entire team coming together to solve a problem.

Maybe it's biased hindsight, but I feel like even when Lewis was winning 20 titles in a row, it was at least more competitive. The last two years have just been awful since red bull has the most dominant car by far. Max is the best driver IMO, but he should at least be able to be challenged.
It's for sure rose colored hindsight. Merc dominance was real. It was only ever close when Ferrari were not-cheating-but-cheating.

Around 10 last night, they told everyone that fp2 wasn’t happening. Did a dog and pony show with guenther and andrea stella. We went back to the hotel and went to bed around 11pm.
The cars fired up around 230 and woke us up. Kinda cool to hear them and watch them out the window. Didn’t find out the fan zone was closed until I read it on this thread…
This is fricking stupid.

It still cracks me up that this dude has been basically buying his kid an F1 seat for years now.
Also, is this finally a race that Verstappen isn't going to win?

Circuit de Catalunya wasn't very expensive.

Yea but it rarely works, with Mclaren this season being the main outlier.
F1 needs to have multiple chassis manufacturers and powerplants that can be purchased on a yearly basis - Similar to the cart model i.e. In the late 90s when Team Penske’s proprietary chassis were rendered uncompetitive, they were able to purchase Reynards (and add their own aero mods) mid season and eventually became competitive again.
F1 is too restrictive in this regard- the budget cap has also hamstrung parity and competition as there is limited resources that can be thrown at paradigm shifting aero improvements
CART at its peak was the pinnacle of motorsports with 4-5 different chassic mfgs and 4-5 different power plants

Nah. The model of F1 is fine. Don't go fricking it up using failed racing models.
The teams who spend money will continue to be at the front. Same is true in spec series like F2, F3, Indy, etc.

We are getting more Vegas than anyone could have hoped for.
3+ pages dedicated to 9 minutes of FP1 and a hidden FP2.

Yup. The locals in Vegas are apparently not happy about F1 any more.

I was there in September and they were already pissed. Every Uber driver, dealer, waiter, etc. was over the shite.

But someone earlier in the thread said "what does it matter whether they like it or not" in no so many words.

Allegedly 1.7B being pumped into their economy. If that is true then the locals will have to get over it. Their employers want it.
Posted on 11/17/23 at 10:37 am to fightin tigers
we all know those claims of economic activity from sporting events are totally bogus
for context the Indianapolis Motorspeedway reports it generates $1BN in econcomic activity for Indiana… if thats the baseline aint no way a Grand Prix that will host 20-30k people per day is coming close- even with the construction costs from the paddock and track build

Well, do you have anything to refute that?

20-30k grandstand tickets sold is not equal to attendance, especially at this venue.
F1 covered the costs of the paddock. It is their new global HQ with Liberty Media.
