  "Evolve the race calendar" Interesting choice of words there.

Ovals?

Ovals?

God I hope not. Yawn.

Liberty Media bought F1 controlling interest, the same company that owns a lot of Charter Communications that just bought Time-Warner Cable, controlled by John Malone. I wonder how this would affect F1 overall.

Even more expensive to watch F1?

Like pay per view? Or packaged with other sports for paid subscription? I believe it will be more expensive.

Guess again...

I reckon this guy will find some way to go on after death.

 
I seriously doubt Bernie will be there long.

Already here with Foxtel 

 
 
unless you are happy with < half the races grid to podium and the rest 1 hour "highlights" package the next day - by the time ads and replays are removed that's about 20 mins race coverage (and DC etc. for all)

Wouldn't surprise me if they add more races for more revenues.

And add virtual pace car periods for commercial breaks. Park the car mid race for some odd show and more commercial breaks.

More beer commercials. Beer commercials in car racing, how ironic.

Well it´s not new for F1. We still have the Williams whiskey team even though the tobacco industry is gone

Interesting race today. Ferrari pit wall again let their driver down. Crazy last few laps.

The SCUD has their form down pat.
 
I was really pulling for Ric on this one, wonder what diff another 5 laps would have made.
 
 
Jeebus but the press is brutal. Ham has a bad weekend and it's "Loss of Form" "Distracted" "Giving the title away".  WTH??? Am I the only one who remembers him eliminating an over 40 point lead not too long ago?  How soon the back of the grid performance gets forgotten . With the exception of Niki Laudanum I doubt theres a driver on the grid who'd wager on Nico taking the WDC this year.

To bad about Kimi he always get the short straw in all racing battles and in the pits. Max was great to watch.
Hamilton lost three races in a row now. Had it been the other way around you would say Nico was broken

It was nice to Kvyat back in action. It did give him confidence boost.
