for sure he has a philosophy which gets used at all of his tracks (so there is a lack of variety) but i dont seem to notice (as much anyways) the same issues F1 cars have at Tilke tracks vs other series. cant really blame Tilke for F1's aero and tire marbles/dirty line issues which contribute to the lack of overtaking. |

I don't see why new circuits aren't put out to tender

The question is... In the past, was there a preferred vendor list as provided by F1 that had effectively one name on the list? I expect a large part of selling your services to whoever is constructing a future F1 track would be talking to how you have the relationships inside FIA (or whoever) to ensure that the track meets the guidelines to get the right certification, plus plenty of experience in doing this type of thing. I suspect that frankly going up against Tilke in a competitive bid scenario and also trying to reduce risk (i.e. low bidder who has zero experience doing this work has little chance of winning a large contract) would be hard.
I also fully expect that the design process is a combined effort between whoever will own the track and the design firm. So while we may pick on Tilke, at the end of the day, the track owners... "own" the design which they ultimately would have approved before construction starts. They can't pass the buck. From their perspectives they may be very happy with what Tilke (entire organization) provides? Richard |

The thing is no-one else has the levels of recent experience that his company do. Not just in building to the FIA requirements but also the buildings and infrastructure that go with it. But also advising on changes to circuits.
That alone makes his company difficult to beat if it went to a short list. Apex are the only other company that even springs to mind for the short list. |

Well what do we make of F1 since Bernie went? Does anyone else notice a ramping up of the "entertainment" side? Safety cars instead of VSC to pick up the small pieces of debris. Allowing cars to continue despite shedding said debris - an obvious black/orange flag on "normal" racing. And now paltry penalties for dangerous driving, because it gets F1 headline news around the world.
Just how bad was Bernie again? At least he was a racing purist, he didn't worry about ratings as long as someone was settling his huge bills. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk |

I wouldn't judge it on the actions of one race either. We've had many feelgood stories like with the Ferrari fan in Spain, Fred going to Indy and then joining the crowd in Canada. I think the human element is returning to F1, which was always hidden before

Don't confuse marketing and racing.
F1's marketing has improved dramatically, no question about that. Racing hasn't. DRS is still there. Very few teams can aspire to podiums. Costs are prohibitive. |

just on the racing side of things, Pirelli are acting far more sensibly then they did when they had the cover of BE and his magic mandate formula and as a result one could say the racing is better because the company is now more open to supplying the tire compounds the teams actually want.
dont know who gets credit for that though? 9 out of 10 teams scored points at Baku...is that a win for the Liberty era or BE era? |

I don't think the paltry penalty was a decree that was issued from Chase. The words out of Liberty are good, particularly the attention to cultivating the European venues and the respect for its history. Eccelstone was the exact inverse of that. But the proof is in the pudding. If there's a ramping up of gimmicks, then that's not good from the pov of what I want from the sport. |

Bernie didn't care as long as he got good profit. That's why he always went for wacky ideas like medals, knockout quali, double points, sprinklers, shortcuts. Thankfully they are all confined to the scrapheap

The whole F1 business was in Bernie's head, he didn't see new things as opportunties he saw them as risk to his business model. He didn't have a marketing team he had himself and a lawyer. It's amazing that you could run a multi billion dollar global business like that, but he did.

Well thankfully it looks like the sport is being concentrated on more now
