Wouldn’t know about F1, haven’t watched for decades. Is Nigel Mansell still racing?
But totally agree, Motogp and WSBK is looking like being a classic season.
I’ve been an F1 fan for over forty years but I don’t like what it has become in recent years - It seems more about show biz than sport these days. There’s no doubt that Liberty Media (the commercial rights holder) has greatly increased its profile, partly through the Drive to Survive Netflix show - which very much has a soap opera ‘reality TV’ feel about it, but is it still sport? I’m not so sure. Liberty has also turned F1 into a closed shop with a veto over any new entrants which isn’t good.
I say all this because Liberty has just acquired the commercial rights to MotoGP and I hope (probably forlornly) that they won’t take MotoGP down the same path.
Yes, the Liberty acquisition does worry me. And I think the TNT commentators might be concerned for their jobs judging by the extensive coverage they gave it.
