He's wrong on both points.

Seriously. The championships weren't anywhere near close, the tracks they're racing at keep getting shittier, and they keep introducing shitty gimmicks like sprint races. Oh and there's some shitty billionaire's kid who sucks ass but still has a seat.

I don’t mind sprint races but I think if they’re going to have a whole day for it they should have more practice sessions before qualifying

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah, 1 practice session with parc fermé the rest of the weekend is just not doable. I guess there's the potential of a shakeup if the top teams don't manage to get their setup right, but it usually just means everyone's got a sub optimal car.

Stopped reading at "Stroll says". Sorry excuse of a human being. Actually cannot blame his son for being so full of attitude, just look at the example he has been set all these years.

Somehow I just have a hard time caring what he says. It is pretty bad when you single out one billionaire among many to dislike for being rich.

Of course current F1 bosses will be against a new team joining, it means more competition.

Didn't he say this two weeks ago?

How long until the EU's antitrust arm slaps Formula 1 into next decade?
