Getting off topic
The interesting point is that Rupert is selling the entertainment business for a motza to supposedly concentrate on his "core values" News and Sport.
I've always assumed that his core value was how to gain control of the political system in whichever country he was operating.
That aside he has retained a significant stake in Disney, a market situation from which he has been known to engineer a reverse takeover.
The other point is that the retained part of the business should now be concentrated in Newscorp. and thus under tighter family control. Gets rid of those pesky shareholders wanting voting rights!
The whole question is whether this move is seen my him as a step in search of further political power or a admission that he is getting on a bit and should limit his sphere of activity.
Don't think either he, or Lachlan or James have ever displayed any interest in F1 as either a sport or a mass audience platform. Dunno about Jerry Hall!
