Haas is either posturing or they are out after this year.

quote:

Asked if the sporting return was worth the financial investment, Haas said: "It's definitely not financially worth it, I can tell you that.

"The business model does not favour the smaller teams.

"As everybody knows with the way the money has been distributed 70 percent of it goes to the top three teams and 30 percent of it goes to the other seven teams. It's not a good economic model.

"At least in our condition, you're only paid about a third of what it actually costs to run a team in Formula 1.

"So, from a business model it doesn't do that well.

Not surprising really. An American team is Formula 1 will never work.

Excuse me while I kiss the sky.
Is F1 in and of itself actually profitable for any team?

I've heard that for Mercedes the world-wide exposure is worth billions in marketing (however they measure this?) for the Merc. brand. Same for Ferrari.

But even if a team like Haas was winning Championships, what would they actually get out of it? Very few people are going to be buying Haas machining tools....

Absolutely not. Every single team is technically breaking even based on getting subsidies of various sizes from their parent companies/shareholders/what have you. Some of them might be able to write off that expense as marketing and claim they generate more in marketing value than they spend, but who knows if that's actually accurate (it's not).

Gene Haas is just crying because he's a fool and he thought he could run a team on the cheap and fluke the occasional win like at NASCAR plate races.

What happens when nascar successfully convinces the average American that nascar was/is/will be the only motorsport in America.

I got in to F1 late last year, watched a couple races, and decided Grosjean was a nincompoop. Then I watched the first season on Netflix, and at one point early in the season two team leads are betting on how many turns he makes it in one of the races (I think it was turn 1 and 3 max) and he crashed on turn 2 and I felt pretty vindicated in my opinion and glad that others shared it.

I’ve watched his streams and he doesn’t strike me as the typical GAMER NATION crowd. He also has good teeth, so he’s not that British.

I generally like racing but NASCAR is boring garbage and a friend was in town who watches F1 and the race was at 11am instead of 2am.

Also like 3 cars crashed in the first turn and the race was over in 2 hours so we could get on with our day (drinking).

Not only that, Max and Lando team up..... was it Max or Lando's wheel that came off mid race. That was hilarious.

Edit: It was Max's brake pedal that fell off.
