You know that FOM literally has their own marketing team, right? This isn’t up for debate, it is a proven fact. We know their loving names.

I think it's worth pointing out, because nobody else seems to have done, that a 'marketing team' in a modern organisation is literally a bunch of people who are relationship managers exclusively with agencies who specialise in marketing, advertising and PR. You do not buy that expertise in house because it is a). ridiculously expensive and b). ridiculously niche. 'Marketers' in the sense of FOM (and the VAST majority of major corporations) are literally people who communicate 'core brand principles,' chat poo poo around the water cooler and give the actual marketing people a steer on what they want doing.

Not that net neutrality isn’t an immensely important thing to fight for, but this administration’s attempt at overturning it will 1. last three years at most, and 2. change very very very little in practice.

Lady Di told me that Lewis is now the best FI driver in history. She also can't wait to see her Brexit dream come true. She thinks Theresa May is an amazing leader but that she should be tougher in the negotiations and not let the perfidious eurocrats boss her around so much

At some point I'll come to terms with the fact that I've spent 30 years watching F1 races even though I was generally disappointed after the fact. It's a good allegory for life.

Even the highlights are boring. They go straight from Sainz messed up pitstop to the checkered flag. Nothing happened in between that was worth showing!!

Both me and my sister turned the race off about half way though, and we're literally the fans you'd expect to sit through the most boring races ever. Nothing happened. At all. For an hour and a half.

I "recorded" it and pretty much skipped my way through the last half...and I normally watch every single lap.

On a positive note I take some solace that Abu Dhabi's choice to buy the last race of the calendar in an attempt to have the grand final of Formula 1 has been a total failure.

The GP2 race was good but then again the cars are spec so it's less of an issue.
