I'm all for more teams on the grid, especially one that isn't just a B-team buying poo poo from a larger team which seems like it's a sizeable chunk of the grid at this point.

Apart from Haas, who else does this?

Yep.

Aston Martin use pretty much the entire rear end of the Merc under the bodywork, including gearbox and suspension. I think Williams now use the gearbox after years of Claire Williams (I'd take her gearbox etc) refusing to.

Then you have leagues like MLS that are just Ponzi schemes where basically whole source of revenue for the established teams is the entry fees from expansion teams.

Apple may have bailed them out, very lucky for them. fake it until you make it (see also Haas)

right clicking is stealing
Which episode is the one where the track is struck by a missile in the middle of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, leading to a fiery explosion that claims the life of two marshals and famed driver Roman Grossjean, and we get to relive Crofty's iconic call, "AS GOD AS MY WITNESS THAT CAR IS BROKEN IN HALF," followed by an emotional Will Buxton comparing the fragility of the peace process in the Arabian desert with the fragility of human life when you are a race car driver.

It was the "gladiators" journalists back in the 60s/70s/80s who argued against the safety measures that made this [mostly] not a death sport today. Journalists who called Stewart a coward because he said his job was to display his driving talent not his bravery

As stupid as the fake commentary is in DTS, it's necessary because the main English commentators say nothing valuable for 2 hours.

Instead of spending my annual F1 budget of £70 on some janky as gently caress and highly illegal TV streaming service I've VPN bought F1 TV Pro. Alex Jacques seems pretty dece on the F3 and F2 commentary and I am starting to think if I have to listen to Sky's resident fat-oval office-from-down-the-pub-darts-expert scream incorrect bullshit alongside their tenured dementia patient commentator for the red eye races for another season I'll be on a news story that ends with "before turning the gun on himself."

Agreed. I don't understand how anyone can dislike DTS for:

1. Actually bringing new people in to the sport beyond dumb neckbeards.
2. Making an awful and boring F1 season somewhat interesting.

Because we're <1 week away from 75% of us either missing the races completely and/or posting about how we fell asleep on the couch after 15 minutes.

DTS fans are noticeably deficiente in the passione department, OP. They typically post moronic poo poo about how Lando Norris is "poggers" or how Zak Brown is "cool and good" instead of being a fat boomer edgelord.

They do not respect the institution of F1 which is, of course, Scuderia Ferrari.

I got sucked into this dumbass sport by DTS so I will never let that grudge go

But I became an instant Scud bud the moment I saw the 2 most handsome drivers on the grid driving the sexiest car; it turns out it was a car so sexy hot it would regularly burst into flames.

I started watching F1 right before the Vettelreich when everyone hated Ferrari and Schumacher for making the sport boring. If only we knew back then what we knew now.

I started watching F1 rooting for Mika Hakkinen vs Schumacher, because my dad is a lifelong tifosi and having a friendly rivalry was fun. DTS seems fine to me, I don't get any elitism about new fans. They just want to see interesting people drive cars fast, and the show is that sort of "photoshopped reality" that does that for everything else we consume these days. Of course it doesn't get everything accurate, no "reality" tv does.
