    I agree with you they will work on making money. But improving the sport to bring back fans will result in making more money.

    Bernie has been loosing the real fans in search of the rich casual fan. But those types come and go. Once the real fans have left they will be hard to bring back.

    Kind of like MINI sacrificing it core customers to try and get main stream customers. In both cases doomed to failure and make less money in the long run.

    I can only hope the business end gets straightened out with this deal and the sporting end gets fixed next year with the new rules. If not F1 may die a slow and painful death.

    You really have to be impressed with the year Haas has had so far, I'm encouraged and hope to see them move up the grid next season - hope they don't have a sophomore slump!

    This race may be worth watching. Merc may dominate like they do at other tracks. That and the sparks look cool at night.

    I think he has more to worry about behind him. Wouldn't be surprised to see Hamilton (if he can get a good start) and/or Verstappen pushing him off the track while he's looking for a way past Rosberg.

    Yes there is the Mad Max factor & Lewis won't do him any favors given half a chance. At any rate the start will be an interesting one.

    Has Rosberg led the championship, then lost the lead to Hamilton and taken the lead back?[​IMG]

    Too bad there wasn't 1 more lap sure would have liked seeing Ricciardo win. Nico got lucky, but Lewis is sure to come back at the next race. :fingerscrossed:

    Pretty good race for all involved. :Thumbsup:

    Not a bad race, but far from the best I've seen. 00Mini you can catch the race tomorrow NBCSN 2:00pm - 4:00 PM.

    Actually when was the last time first and second place were separated by only .04 seconds? It wasn't a historic race that will be written about for years to come but it was a pretty good race all things considered...Seb's run from the back of the pack to a fifth place finnish, and Max and Kyvat battling was good stuff indeed!

    Seems a bit of overreaction buy Wolff. Maybe only the 2 fastest cars should start the race? :lol: Many races are going on out there at the same time. I think if you are being lapped yes you need to make way as soon as you can without doing your own race in. I saw nothing wrong done by the Hass driver in Singapore other than scoring no points. Just my .02....
