I have a feed for F1 news, in my Google News page. I glance over them, and when they seem interesting I’ll post them over here, unless told otherwise.

So far this season, these stories seem at least as interesting as the actual racing “competition.”

The entire thing is so costly, so regulated, as to create such a high cost of entry, which is effectively a barrier to entry.

I wish one or more major US firms would get into it. Okay, Chrysler-Fiat is in.

GM and Ford have sold vehicles in Europe and the world over, for decades.

Word is Audi may go from LeMans, to F1—wonderful.

Now GM, Ford and Toyota should get in there, too.

They should relax the formulas to encourage experiments and options. In the 1950s they had supercharged vehicles with small displacements, and bigger non-aspirated engines as well.

More venues in the US, more American drivers, etc. too.

For me the 1.6 liter V6 engines were a turning point, and not a good one. It has been a downward spiral.

I was thinking that if I were Red Bull, I would drop Renault like a hot croissant; however, now I feel differently.

Red Bull should...

...BUY RENAULT!
