The result of having one more team on the grid.

If this results in F1TV being banned in the USA, I will be with you.

It was just good hard racing. No cars were wrecked, nobody was injured, the race stewards looked at it for no time at all and let it pass.

There is nothing technically to prevent them from showing 2 different battles on the same screen.

And that was an era where cars weighed 540kg empty and were shorter than they are today. Current cars are heavy and unwieldy by comparison.

He didn't want a collision. He is behind in the championship. Retiring or suffering damage would have been bad outcomes.

That was Nelson Piquet.
Gerhard Berger described it as like trying to drive a powerboat in a duck pond.

The TV networks have a terrible tendency to forget about the minor placings battles once the top 2 cars pass the finish line.

All the time that Lando was sitting behind Max, unable to get close enough, Carlos Sainz was scything through the field on softs, and Alonso was chasing an ailing Ferrari.
The TV director was asleep at the console.

It is the fault of the media for kow-towing to participants. If the media walked away from attempts to control all of the content, then the sports would have to become more accommodating if they wanted more publicity.

Well, that is what you do when there is little to nothing interesting happening on track.

IMHO the argument about F1 race length keeps missing the point.
People do not mind a long event if it is exciting and a wee bit unpredictable.
The problem F1 has is that the cars are not raceable, and many races (cough! Singapore) are way too processional.

The question for me is: how much control does Frederick Vasseur have over the entire f1 organization?

Formula E will last until the backers get tired of losing money. Then it will disappear.

So they are bad managers, but every other F1 team has worse management?

It would be highly amusing if George signed for another F1 team.

A lot of tosh being talked, mostly by supporters of Oscar Piastri.

They just won their second Constructors Championship in a row. Tell us about the Cowboys current level of success,

Oscar needs to chill out. He is becoming nervous and paranoid, which is understandable. But he put some of the pressure on himself partly by failing to score in Baku.

The incident on Lap 1 was not a crash in any generally accepted use of the word. Actually, Lando tapped Max. Apart from the bent front wing end-plate, I saw no other car parts damaged or flying in the air.

When motor racing disputes make it into civil court, they usually result in one or both parties being excoriated by the judge for talking BS and being untrustworthy as witnesses.
This is probably going to end the same way.

People who die young end up being deified. We never get to see how they handled skill decline. The smart ones retire, a lot of them spend years hanging on and becoming a parody of themselves.

He is rattled after failing to score in Baku.

If what Ayrton said was a universal truth, then it doesn't matter who repeats it. Facts are independent of the messenger.

The old corporate financial apology.

I don't think that Mclaren will tolerate their drivers disobeying team orders in a race. Their culture is different than Red Bull.

McLaren is the antithesis of Schumacher-era Ferrari, where the second driver was a highly-paid valet.

They also missed Carlos Sainz chasing Isaac Hadjar after changing to soft tyres.

Reminder: Pressure to win an F1 championship will get to any driver. Remember Adelaide 1994, when Damon Hill was chasing Michael Schumacher. Schumacher made several mistakes and finally hit the wall (we know what happened next).

Lando is simply repeating Ayrton's famous quote, which everybody treated as some form of stone tablet from God at the time.
