re: Why is Ferrari so incompetent as an F1 team?

F1 is killing NASCAR and Indy car with the presentation of the race weekends, the marketing and social media right now.

Hopefully they are both looking at what F1 has done and figures out how to accomplish the same success. The racing of NASCAR and INDYCAR are both better than F1. F1 has better cars and drivers though

I get what you are saying. Nascar is at its lowest point run by Keystone cops. F1 is growing.

But lets not forget F1 had practically several years with no commercials. Nascar has too many. Het Nascar still outdraws F1 2-1 viewer ratio. And thats with F1 no commercials on ESPN which is the most watched and available sports channel.

When they go Apple they will lose a pretty good sized chunk of viewers. Nothing to do with cost but people are tired of all these extra subs which are now getting more expensive than cable. And are starting to revolt.

I have no idea but would guess F1 loses 20-30% of US viewers on Apple. And those who do use it - and if Apple shows ads - they will lose even more. F1 is not at the “mist watch” phase yet and that will hurt them.

I think the times the races are held helps NASCAR with viewership. Sunday afternoon is different than Sunday at 6 AM.

Two years ago, while speaking to the Spanish site AS, Palou gave more details and explained: “I wouldn’t be at the level of fighting with Max [in F1 with a Red Bull].

“I know this because I do a lot of simulator work with him and we share a lot of data, and he’s a special case.”

Can we just agree on our hate for Lance Stroll and conclude this thread?

I don’t even have words for that guy.

I often forget about the window licker completely. They never show him on the broadcast until he qualifies 18th or retires early. Doesn’t even seem like he wants to be there

Yeah that spastic inbred. See that pic floating around of his sister sitting on his lap? I think daddy got to Rocket Powered Mohawk—hasn’t produced in a long time.

Going to be hilarious seeing him next year with a Honda engine and an Newey designed car. His incompetence will be magnified and will have no where to hide in the back.

Also hilarious seeing commentators bite their tongue when covering him. Not like the old days where you could say anything you wanted like James Hunt did.

The F1 time works way better for me. I know I may not be the norm, but there are lots of people like me that like knocking out a race at 7:00 while sipping coffee and then getting on about our days. I'm not a fan of races in our hemisphere because I usually have stuff going on.

Amen to this. F1 grew on me years ago bc of the coffee and watching.
