I posted a bit earlier about the coincidence of the new qualifying format being dreamt up by the same people and now it seems that the universal condemnation wasn't enough to prevent it being retained for Bahrain.If the continuing shift to pay TV continues it will seriously weaken the arguments that the teams sponsorship departments can deploy when seeking funding.Will the income from the pay TV broadcasters be enough to cover the shortfall?
I really do believe that the decision makers inside the F1 bubble have lost the plot.I went to the Autosport Show in January and saw,among other things,the Williams hospitality centre.It only takes fourteen trucks to move it around.Not singling out Williams,but it shows a certain level of remove from building the fastest racing car.
