Oh, spiffing. So I can basically look forward to a bunch of idiotic rambling from fandumb in the run-up to his interview....and then his interview, which will be stage-managed by the ****s that deal with such things....and then the inevitable reaction from fandumb afterwards.
OH JOY OF JOYS.
Think I'll pass
These kids are certainly testing the limits. This was the previous stupidity I was referring to:
When there are so many questionable moves on high speed circuits, the likelihood of that happening is increased. These drivers can't seem to go 3 or 4 laps without causing another safety car, which bunches up the pack again = more contact.
"Dietrich Mateschitz wants to buy the marketing rights to F1"
"What is clear to Wurz, however, is that "Who puts the money on the table, can also make the rules"

This could be(if true) the final nail in the coffin for F1.
From another page on that site.
"Indeed, there is now a push to speed up the process and introduce radical changes not for 2017, but in 2016."

And last but not least. F1 supporters are getting together to report F1 to the European commission. This will be good

To be fair, Red Bull are pretty good at being promoters of events and sport series. I would expect competition law may prevent them owning teams in a series they have the marketing rights too, however.
Don't just assume this is a bad thing. F1 does need someone better to head up the sports promotion than the current dinosaur.

I actually think this could be a good idea. Get someone like Ross Brawn to draw up the regulations and get F1 back to what it should be....the pinnacle of motor sport.

Aren't West Ham supposed to be moving in there in August from Upton Park?
That'll make a nice mess of the pitch
"Miami Dolphins owner and Qatar set to bid for Formula One"

Wonder what changers they will bring in?

Just a reminder, it's on in 5 minutes BBC1. Probably won't be that exciting but might be worth a look in.

Live coverage from Goodwood FOS on motorsTV over the weekend if anyone is interested.
Several offs at molecomb though which really seem to mess up the schedule.
