I wonder what Liberty Media’s long term plans are for their F1 channel. Could they throw other race series into the channel and make it the goto place for motor sport. As far as iam aware, Liberty Media own the television rights to Formula E. They could drop that into their channel package. Instead of the two series becoming rivals in the future, put them together in the same media package. As we all know, one of the main problems with motor sport is it’s used to sell contracts for networks. In an ideal world all motorsport should be available in one place.
