    Absolutely love Formula 1, been a fan for 30 years, find the whole cutting edge technology and it’s public applications fascinating…

    …but yeah lol fuck the circus. Formula 1 has gone from pure greed on the organisation front to unadulterated morally bankrupt and taking-the-piss greed. Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi… yeah nah fuck that noise, a bit of fire under Liberty Media’s chair would do them good.

    It runs the risk of fucking the Vegas fanbase off 2005-stylez, but hey it can’t have been too terrible if there’s now three US races on the calendar.

    Losing them tons of money is the only way to make the faceless corporates pay attention and take action. I hope they do it.

    I was in Vegas last month. Uber/Lyft drivers are fed up too. One driver told me that he used to meet his goals by 11am. Because of F1 construction traffic, now he’s driving an extra 10-15 hours per day to meet those same goals. He’s gonna be out of town this F1 month, visiting a friend in another state to consider moving there.

    Life is becoming worse for the residents, while the casinos get richer.

    We need to align ALL of the nations unions contract dates so that when one union goes on strike, ALL of the other Unions members are available to strike against the Capitalists nas a group.

      It’s 35,000 more than last year. Along with the actors strike, and right after the UAW strikes. Lets leave the defeatism on reddit.

    I totally agree, I was just making a joke because our or french friends are quite something when it comes to strikes and protest.

            Cars out of position, lots of fights, overtakes, re-overtakes, multiple lead changes, a podium position that came down to the wire… I’m not the one who’s delusional.

            This race was everything it promised to be and more.

        The race will suck but at least the rich people putting it on will make a ton of money!

        Edit: I couldn’t have been more wrong.
