I see the problems at Haas being Gene and not willing or able to put the capital into the team that is needed to take them to the next level. Doing more with less doesn’t seem to be an approach that works in F1. |

(As in complete control) Negative. Most well run charities are established with both a Board and an Administrator to keep from "piercing the veil". i.e. allowing the charterer and funder to run their personal expenses and purchases through the charity. Of course there are always exceptions for "charities" that are set-up for nothing more than a graft and a money wash (cough: 45's) |

Quote HistoryFFS? The last 10+ years at Ferrari have been a laughable shit show if you're being honest about their team and car performance versus the amount of stipend support they get directly from the FIA. Name another team that gets handed a direct funding packaging FROM THE LEAGUE to the tune of over $70MM a year just to show up. That's freaking bizarre man! That would be like the NFL giving the Dallas Cowboys or the MLB handing just the Yankees, and only the Yankees, a $70 million check each season just because ... irrespective of their record or performance over the season. So maybe a little diversity and new talent from a different perspective is needed. The same of pools of talent they keep only fishing in - well, they're fumbling the bag and not getting the job done. The record doesn't lie. |

Being the oldest and never stopped F1 team has its perk. Soda manufacturers will be forgotten soon enough. The Cavalino Rampante not so much. Btw. For the last 20 years how many times Ferrari ended 2nd ? How many times 3rd ? Who was trying to challenge Red Bull in their dominance years ? Who then was challenging mercedes ? Who has been the best of the rest for the last 2 years ? I mean, yes, they should won more. With a bit a luck, with a bit less of td-39, and a bit less grosjean, or Petrov, and a strategist half as good as me, they might have too  Btw, you sound like Megan rapinoe wanting the same pay as the men’s soccer team

Quote HistoryNot sure how much this actually means. “Pushing it in talks” doesn’t mean anything by itself. Lewis: I think diversity is important. Ferrari: We hear you Lewis. Blah blah. What matters is what’s in the actual contract that was signed. Maybe it’s just give money to some woke charity. We’ll have to wait and see what actually happens next year, but right now it’s just Lewis talking. I’d be surprised if Ferrari actually does much. |

An autonomous drone swarm of that drone model would be amazing, but I don't think they would be able to broadcast it live. Then you have a whole host of other issues to consider, i.e. the wake disturbing the path of the drone, what would happen if the drone crashed into the track (there was a ski racing event, slalom I believe, where a 6-rotor camera drone almost crashed into a skier going down the mountain). |

BTW - Kind of a weird closer re: Megan Rapinoe reference. That doesn't track at all to my comment. LoL yeah, like Rally after the end of group B.. btw, with Budget cap your point is moot. The money they make is useless in term of results. Ferrari is getting big money because its the big money maker of F1.. (just like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are getting the most money in the LIGA, for example, no matter their results). It's a commercial thing, not a sport thing. I suspect this is also why Ferrari accepted all the BS thrown at them for the last 20 years.. even not winning they (the owners) are more than happy with the money they make from F1 |

Huge safety problems to overcome, but the view and angles are just amazing!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pEqyr_uT-kthe sprays from the RB-20 in the rain, seen from above, are gonna give some interesting clues to the specialists |

What car do you follow on the first lap? Starting from the back of the grid, some what low to get a little of the heat haze at the start. As the run into turn 1 gets closer, gain altitude to capture more of the area and watch the accordion. As the lead car exits, start leading the cars, so the cars are heading towards the camera. Keep enough altitude and positioning for the slower corners to get some wide shots. I would probably try to use it as a more nimble helicopter style shot. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Shadow_Dancer: I hear that narrative so often but it is threadbare. Ferrari makes MORE than enough revenue from their operations, vehicle sales, merchandising, and brand licensing to fund their own efforts. People need to get the idea of their head that F1 needs to be a cuck for Maranello ... or else. Ferrari is a team in the series - they are not the series. If Ferrari takes a hike and wants to go do Hyper endurance and GT racing, have at it - F1 will survive. Just like the MLB would survive if the Yankees left or Premier League would if Manchester United left. There is no sports league in the world where the organizing body gives only a team a massive funding advantage. It creates an internal unlevel and unfair playing field right out the gate! Imagine if the NFL said, "Going forward, the Dallas Cowboys are hereby allowed to go $50MM over the team limit with no penalty and we will in fact give them the $50MM to do so - but only the Dallas Cowboys." Or if the NBA said, "The Boston Celtics are hereby spotted +10 points from the tip-off for every game." This sh*t is so goddamn bizarre, it defies logic.

If Ferrari left F1 it would lose a lot of attention (and $$$). Being the oldest and never stopped F1 team has its perk. Soda manufacturers will be forgotten soon enough. The Cavalino Rampante not so much. Btw. For the last 20 years how many times Ferrari ended 2nd ? How many times 3rd ? Who was trying to challenge Red Bull in their dominance years ? Who then was challenging mercedes ? Who has been the best of the rest for the last 2 years ? I mean, yes, they should won more. With a bit a luck, with a bit less of td-39, and a bit less grosjean, or Petrov, and a strategist half as good as me, they might have too Btw, you sound like Megan rapinoe wanting the same pay as the men’s soccer team I hear that narrative so often but it is threadbare.

Ferrari are given the $70 million, but they are not allowed to spend more than other teams in terms of the cost cap. Not saying they don't find other ways to spend more (Le Mans Hypercar development for example), but the theoretical example with the Cowboys isn't totally accurate. |
