Bottom post of the previous page:
The whole situation with new entrants remains me of a car crush in slow motion. Any new entrant must show their value they bring to the sport (relevant to the dilution of rewards), we are told. So, the entrant has to pay 200 MM, and what else..?Brown - I want American! Why? Because Andretti is famous, and Andretti raced in all kind of series. (Hmm, I remember him in F1.)
Renault - we want American, because we want our name in that market. (Their factory in Russia was confiscated and nationalized.)
Horner - expansion should be covered by Liberty's account (
). I am not his fan, but he is right with this one.Entity VAG meanwhile is being pushed into background, as Money and Nationalistic politics have taken over the sport.
The question why not accept all three has been probably answered. Liberty wants more music for less money, and teams are pushing back. I am not sure to where all of this is heading, but it doesn't look good right now. How any new entrant can satisfy demand to show their value for the sport? What kind of nonsense is that?
You drive, you are good, people talk about you, and want to see you. You are not a STAR of the show, until you drive. Not before. This is not Hollywood, Mr. Brown.
Andretti's name will be all over the place, until they potentially drive good enough for Q3 like Haas. Then all name-shine and noise will die very quickly. There are no guarantees, so, why demand it? Let them all in, or no one. The only solutions available. All three have potential to be good for the F1 due to their pedigree.
