VikingSkull posted:I wonder if this is related to Haas F1 somehow.... half of their car is built by ferrari and they use ferrari's wind tunnel to design it (windshear isn't legal in F1) so it would be quite an enormous undertaking for them to change engine suppliers

VikingSkull posted:well that's good because I don't think Ford has an F1 engine atm don't be an rear end, viking, you know fuckall about F1. the entire raison d'etre of the haas team is to build as little as possible in-house and thus advertise the haas brand for as little cost as possible, while still punching above what a team on their budget is normally capable of doing. they don't have any facilities of their own with which to design a car. they don't build any of the car themselves. the body is built by dallara. engine, transmission, suspension, anything that ferrari can legally sell them, they do. to suggest that ford could replace ferrari would be suggesting that haas invests hundreds millions more into effectively building a brand new team. you're suggesting that haas build their own wind tunnel. and you're suggesting that he's scrapped his entire plan before the car has even turned a wheel in anger.

VikingSkull posted:because Haas partnered with Hendrick for literally the same reasons he partnered with Ferrari and now he's leaving that alliance it's almost like haas' partnership with ferrari is vastly more involved than his with hendrick and would take years to get out of it's almost like you know literally nothing about f1 and should stop running your mouth

i love kimi to death but i don't see him as being on the same level as montoya in terms of being competitive in various disciplines. he seems to enjoy non-F1 stuff but i really think his skillset is most suited for F1.

bigbillystyle posted:I don't see how Indy is a steppingstone to running stock cars. Its been proven quite a bit over the last few years that doing well in one doesn't translate to doing well in the other. I would watch Kimi in either series though. I thought for sure he was going to lose his ride at Ferrari a couple years ago when they struggled so badly but now that Ferrari is competitive again it seems like Kimi still has it in him to compete with the best in F1 and it would certainly be interesting to see how he would fair in either series. I would definitely watch to see how he does running ovals at the very least if he went to Indy. it's not a stepping stone in the sense that being successful on indycar ovals doesn't mean you'd be successful in nascar, but that's different from it being a useful transition for an F1 driver. but now that i'm thinking about it, only penske or ganassi could come close to affording him in indycar.

FuzzySkinner posted:It just seems like a much more natural transition in a few ways. I think the opposite would also be true in regards to a Cup driver ever doing F1. When Gordon was contacted to race for BAR Honda back in the day? They pushed for him to run with Kool Green. He balked, and stuck with Cup. this sounds like too much effort for kimi tbqh. america would love that guy though.

i suspect those ratings are worse for NASCAR than most sports since they're on a broadcast network and thus less impacted by cord cutting

VikingSkull posted:also I will be dumbstruck if by 2024 they haven't figured out internet streaming and a way to track viewership NASCAR and F1 are in similar spots, really. everyone assumes management is stupid because they haven't yet capitalized on the streaming market; the reality is that it would be detrimental to do so while they can still pump so much money out of the networks.

daslog posted:Jeff Zucker used to talk about “trading analogue dollars for digital pennies.” You can also call it digital disruption. Brian France is milking as much money as he possible can now because he knows in the future those revenues won't be there. jeff zucker can talk that way because he's ultimately a middleman and that's not a business that will exist much longer. from his perspective he's right: those revenues won't be there because his business is not needed. NASCAR will not need to sell their product to FOX so FOX can distribute it. NASCAR can stream it directly to the customer. and maybe those revenues won't be there, but neither will the outrageous costs of traditional television. there are a lot of benefits to vertical integration. (in case it wasn't clear, the streaming market is where you go to gain profits, unless you're a company whose sole business model is based on it being difficult and expensive to do something the internet does for pennies)
