I always thought it was funny how Bernie insisted on running Baku against Le Mans and other poo poo like that against WEC because he is such an egotistical prick about everything

Changing GP2 to F2 makes me wish F1 has a relegation system so that we could send McLaren down

Typical ignorant American investors making GBS threads on the European Grand Prix. Sad.

Get rid of Baku, Sochi, and Bahrain imo. Put the Euro GP in Imola and add two street circuits somewhere.

Doing #1 will ideally produce a long term revenue growth since it will draw more interest into the sport since you aren't chasing dictator money running races in places that no one gives a poo poo about. This will result in an increase in TV/Stream revenue and poo poo like that. I think this is the right approach. Getting Brawn to make the on track product less lovely is another approach with the same goal.

The question which you are seem to be raising is if Liberty will have the patience to eat short term losses to produce a long-term gain. They have seemed pretty competent so far so I think they will. But it certainly is a possibility that 5 years from now they will face some internal pressure to add a bunch of oil country races in order to raise share value or something if they aren't getting the growth they are anticipating.

I think they could actually have way more viewers in the US than they do now and part of that is not running races in Baku. My guess is that this is the primary reason why Liberty bought the thing in the first place, in that it was something that could have mass appeal with flaws that they could fix.

I'd wager the success of EPL in the US in the past decade or so was probably at least some factor in Liberty thinking F1 can do much better than it has here

This is my first year watching NBCSN through PS Vue. Do they show all the practices and everything and does anyone know if it is all on demand or if I have to set it up to (fake) record it?
