Okay, so they were ****s then. My level of concern for their future prospects after being sacked?

Looks like there will be the remnants of a typhoon for race weekend. Brings back memories of Bianchi and the dreadful race management that weekend. Let’s hope that they don’t repeat the same mistakes.
 
Dead man walking. No reasonable person is going to pay £10.99 a week for it, assuming you can find it on a newsagents shelves.

The content has been steadily getting worse for well over 10 years since getting acquired by MN.

It makes me sad is all. :(
 
£10.99 for a weekly print magazine? I didn't even realise they were still doing print, I thought it was all online now.
 
Eleven quid? For a magazine? Flippin' 'eck.

In a world where most information is at the touch of your finger tips, that seems to be a bit rich... Haha! Unless they are coming out with stuff that cannot be found anywhere else?! (Which i doubt) Looks like they want to be the Woolworths of the automotive magazine world.
 
Sadly, poor print sales mean we have to shut down the print magazine. Likely before the end of the year.

mind you the print magazine has likely been haemorrhaging money for a while. The online sub isn’t such bad value.
 
The quality of most of the content is poor compared to what it used to be. It's going all clickbaitey Daily Fail. When it's free I'll forgive that and ignore the outbrain ads at the bottom. Not paying for an online sub to support being treated like I've had a lobotomy.
 
Pity. Toro Rosso's brand has decent equity and was aligned to the parent in a subtle manner.
Its was too similar imho.
I think it makes sense to use it to support a new product line. They spend a lot of money to be in f1 and if they can get a wider benefit from running the second team as a sub brand its better for the sport in the long run I hope!
 
Let's see how it goes. Perhaps better to be flying the flag for some clothing rather than a fizzy drink pimping legal yet harmful narcotics to children.
