Don’t think it’s going to matter. Seems more and more likely that Bottas is out at the end of the year.

This just gives more credit to the idea that Gene will likely sell at the end of the year, and we’ll see Uralkali F1 Gónki Komandoy become a thing.

American business men with dodgy taxes, backed by the Russians. We’re used to it here. :)

Man. We just got rid of the last American thing that was bought and paid for by Russians.. Now we got this to deal with.

Yep. So unattractive that RB is making their own engines.

RedBull developing engines, Ferrari going to LeMans, McLaren in Indy… This is what happens when you free up cash with spending caps.

“The Welling MSP Racing Sponsorship Consortium delivers access to new ‘pooled’ sponsorship funding for F1 teams and access to F1 team partnerships for smaller budget sponsors.”

Sounds like a great Ponzi scheme.

The number of users on this website trying to down-play sexual assault is actually disappointing. Being young and dumb doesn’t excuse your poor choices. After her second set of IG posts, it’s obvious the girl was […]

Relating to other sports doesn’t work though. Because in those other sports, the athletes (and coach(es)) are the only thing that makes those teams good. With a budget cap system, any team can go out and buy the […]

But how’s it leveling the field? Truth is, F1 doesn’t have 20 drivers who are worth $15m a piece. Even if we add in all of the good drivers who aren’t in F1 right now, we still come up short. If we go with a […]

But why though?

This isn’t baseball where teams are spending $300m+ per year on players. There’s literally 2-4 drivers who may ever qualify for a salary cap during a given year. This is extremely […]

@pironitheprovocateur – That’s the whole point of the issue. The cops neither a) Knocked at the door nor b) announced themselves, and if they really did announce themselves as they say, why did the Louisville PD […]

@robbie – You bring up a good point about the Merc/Macca deal. Even though it might not be the absolute fastest engine anymore, it’s still the class of the field, so that likely had some input in RIC’s decision. […]

committed himself, full of promises, to being part of their revival.

But what happens when the other side doesn’t hold up their end of the bargain?

2019 car was a nonstarter. 2020 car is looking like a […]

Its all about notoriety/exposure. Mercedes is in the limelight, and they have one of the most popular drivers in racing, who has huge reach outside of F1.

While we, as fans of the sport, might want to sponsor […]

@drycrust @bascb – I submitted another post, but I think it evaporated into the ether…

Anyways, McLaren’s reputation, at least here in the States, is really bad. Reliability isn’t all that good, to the point […]

*exacerbated

McLaren was in trouble before the pandemic. It just acerbated the problem.

Shoddy reliability, poor resale, expensive maintenance/repair, and several models that are basically all 2 door sports cars that look nearly identical, with a minor change and a “new” version. McLaren is basically […]

The media constantly overhyping Sainz is real. So he’s beaten a rookie not by much, and beat a badly wounded Kvyat after getting dropped from RBR? Does everyone forget he got pretty thoroughly beaten by a guy […]
