this sort of exposure is like a magnet to sponsors that provide the cash

Really? I would have though it was the opposite to that. I know there’s the saying that all publicity is good publicity but would you want your brand associated with this mess?

Bernie and Max are loving this. I was just listening to TALKsport on the way home and even they are giving F1 loads of air time, TALKsport are mainly a football station!! This is giving F1 the exposure Max and Bernie crave.
This will result in the deadline being moved and i believe the cap will be about £100 million but with spending restrictions enforced on certain developments.

It does seem a mess for the die hard F1 fans, but all the troubles this year are just raising the sports profile, this sort of exposure is like a magnet to sponsors that provide the cash, which is the life blood of F1.

But there again, they could come back, slightly reformed, as ALFA Romeo or Maserati……

I hope they all quit F1 and start a new series because F1 under the FIA has become a joke.
