I assume the oil sheiks driving around in gold plated Lambos might care about motor racing.
I don't know if anyone's done a poll of the region but I would bet they don't care about motor racing they just care about looking rich and being with other rich people around rich things.

F1 is in the middle east East-east europe because the money doesn't come from actual fans attending.
Actual F1 venues have largely been struggling. German GP isn't secured for 2017, neither is Brazil.

The way to deal with Max is to run him off the track a few times until he gets the message. Let the drivers handle it themselves.

Only because Bernie charges the tracks so much money they need to put the ticket prices beyond what the local population is prepared to pay. So long as the paddock club is full Bernie gives not one gently caress of how bad an empty stadium looks on TV, and in fact has thought it an advantage because then it justifies him brokering a deal with some dusty shithole and getting a nice commission on it. gently caress Bernie.

Ross brawn says; he has been giving independent advice on f1 to liberty, Bernie is not immortal, he regrets not spending Enough time with the merc board and he found out about Lowe from Mclaran. He's worried about following and overtaking but looking forward to the increased speed in 2017.

It's that time of the year when Martin does something good and relevant. Just called out Toto over him phoning Jos Verstappen about max and then asked him if he had made him angry with a poo poo eating grin on his face. (He had)

E: I hope they repeat that new bit they showed at the start about the third place drama tomorrow. Note please, the timing of the audio.

So I had a thought the other night. Imagine if Sainz got bumped up from TR to RB and got Danill's seat...everyone would be praising him as they are :frog: Since it's really the car and not Verstappen's "skills." It was really a career make or break moment where one of them was allowed to skip some rungs on the ladder. Kinda disappointed it didn't work out that way and Big Daddy Verstappen beat someone in the back of the RB garage to give his frog spawn the seat instead of Cool And Good driver Carlos Sainz :smith:
