Disaster? Hardly. It’s a class action lawsuit. Hundreds of those are files weekly. Race will go on.


considering anemic ticket sales, escalating track/paddock construction costs that exceeded initial projections and a class action lawsuit , I don’t see how this race lasts beyond the 3 year initial contract.

history is riddled with the graves of over hyped street races in this country that eventually failed

I understand wanting the spectacle of it, but we have some really great racetracks in this country that could easily be adapted to work well for F1. Just use them.

In an interview Toto was asked about what happened at P1/P2 being a black eye on the event and he basically responded with a “stfu” and that this event is actually setting a new bar in a lot of areas/world class. I don’t know if he’s saying that bc F1 wants him to say that but it seems like it’s actually going a lot better and nicer than people are making it out to be.

I actually kind of like the track. At this point, F1 not giving Ferrari some slack over something they had no control over looks worse than the actual track malfunction.
