Man I knew I should’ve invested before they got bought out.
Hardly worth it to travel all that way just for FP1/2.Friday’s are free or very inexpensive. You can also scalp a ticket for practically nothing on race day. General admission tickets are also reasonable.
It looks like a bet on the new regs. Hopefully it worksAn awful lot depends on this 'patient' style that the new owners are supposed to have. It doesn't sound like the Williams family has retained any independence from what has been said so they may be at the mercy of the new owners with regard to strategic and sporting decisions.
Really hope this works out and enables Williams to get back towards the front. I'm just a bit cautious because how many times before have we seen investment groups buy stakes or entire teams and then lose interest once they realise actually making any money from F1 is incredibly difficult if you aren't the rights holder. e.g. Genii Capital and 'Lotus'.
For that reason, I'd be more comfortable if they had been bought by an enthusiast as a passion project.
The Bottom line at Montreal i timed the cars. The pack was about 30 seconds apart. Then for an entire minute you would watch the jubo monitor. So 60 laps and one minute on the big screen ads up to an hour. What you get is the smell of burning rubber and seeing the cars up close. Montreal the stands are setup so you can look into car and see helmet and arms. But lets face it these days with flat screen plasma TV's you get a good visual and follow the car around. In NASCAR there is a thing called race buddy that allows you to watch race from any car. As you know the middle of the pack is where the action is. I am waiting for this tech to hit F1. You can even drive a virtual sim car around in the race with actual drivers.Yeah, I know, but 700 ish dollars for good seats is far over the top for what I'm willing to pay.
I look to see multiple changes in ownership over the next few years. "Investment Firms" are notorious for "hit and quit it" tactics. Clare is out I am sure.
