Do you see and read every single report and tweet and discussion between every driver at every race?

The news wasn't that Ocon complained, for me it was more that Ocon was being a **** about it. So yes, it's news.

Yes, he moaned on purpose to gain a place.

Interestingly I watched Jolyon Palmers technical review of Canada and he reminded us that the same happened to Hamilton's front wing end plate last year after Max brake tested him and Ham was not shown the black and orange flag. Yes, the end plate was a lot smaller then, but clearly this year the race director is having none of it.

But yes, both Alpine's are becoming a bit rebel. Ocon for crying out aloud to gain a position and Alonso for that weaving BS on the 2nd last lap, for which he was given the 5s penalty.

I dont know which sport you guys are watching but honestly those sorts of messages on radio are common place about another driver having a piece flap around or whatever.

Ocon only did what others have done also. The difference is its being made a big deal because he spoke to the other driver afterwards about it. And im sure that also happens pretty regularly, or not, who knows

"Porsche & Audi getting a bit nervous with the delayed 2026 engine rules. FIA & F1 now promised approval in July. The new entries could then be officially confirmed at France & Hungary. We hear Honda & one other manufacturer also interested."

I'm incredibly excited at the prospect of Audi in F1. It's a brand I've been hung up on ever since the rally days. But even before then, my late uncle had shares in a VW dealership in Kimberley and he was always driving the latest Audi's. I continued the family trend owning a few of my own.

Porsche chief hints at cooperation with Red Bull Racing

Porsche's management seems to be keen on a return to Formula 1. CFO Lutz Meschke hints at a partnership with Red Bull Racing, who have reportedly been in talks behind the scenes for some time.

I wonder if that's a way to get around regs? Start a separate firm that's not in F1, do your thing then register to be an engine supplier. If you are rejected, you still have the IP and the spend didn't go through the current F1 company.
 
Extra money for all F1 teams: https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/formel-1/f1-budget-cap-kompromiss-in-sicht/

"... The following leaked out: rights holder Liberty should pay all teams a certain amount in cash. Some speak of three million dollars, others of three percent of the current cost limit of 140 million. That would be $4.2 million. This money can then be spent without counting towards the budget cap. This would also benefit the teams that are below the upper limit.

But the support should not be given for free. Liberty would deduct the inflation surcharge from the total cake. This hits the rich teams harder than the poor. The world champion participates with 14.5 percent of the total distribution, the tenth only with seven percent.

Alpine team boss Otmar Szafnauer can live with this compromise: "If everyone benefits from it to the same extent, we're in." Haas colleague Guenther Steiner says: "That would be a decent compromise, because the teams who don't reach the budget limit will also benefit."

The FIA plan is not yet on the table with Stefano Domenicali. The Formula 1 management is therefore slowing down too much optimism: “We are looking at the proposal. It is our money that is to be distributed there.” ..."
 
ESPN Scores U.S. Formula 1 Media Rights: https://frontofficesports.com/espn-scores-u-s-formula-1-media-rights/

"... F1 and ESPN have agreed to a three-year contract for U.S. broadcast rights worth $75 million to $90 million annually, per Sports Business Journal.

Most races will be on ESPN or ABC, both of which are owned by Disney. ESPN will also have the option to air a certain number of races on its ESPN+ streaming service.

ESPN’s current deal, which was signed in 2019 and expires this year, was worth $5 million per year.
Amazon and Comcast also submitted bids but were informed by F1 that those proposals have been rejected. Amazon’s bid was reportedly around $100 million.... "
