I’d prefer it if they could bring back refuelling…

You hoping that Max would pull a Jos? Would make the race extra hot.

Grid people are stupid.

There’s always Netflix DTS instead, just ask Vaaldumme for more info if required.

Buy a Nudie magazine or Sports Illustrated.

No - Bring back the grid girls and lets see how long F1 lasts in the Arab countries that now finance FoM.
The move to the east, the American control and the opening F1 up to sports betting, were the beginning of the decline but the Mario Carts version of the Cars this season is the real issue.
I hope that F1 survives it and finds its true sporting rather than profit gouging path again but, if it doesn't, then Berny Eccleston will have proven that his blinkerd view was actually the correct one.

Lewis Hamilton will avoid using Ferrari's simulator before the Canadian Grand Prix after claiming it misled him on car setup ahead of the Miami race weekend.

Hamilton had a disappointing Miami weekend, finishing the sprint race in seventh place and the grand prix in sixth after damage from a collision with Franco Colapinto on the opening lap cost him performance.

Mark Webber: Formula 1 cannot afford to lose Max Verstappen

Former Formula 1 driver Mark Webber believes Max Verstappen is too important to the sport to walk away. According to the Australian, the Dutchman’s presence not only attracts fans around the world, but also keeps his rivals under constant pressure.

www.news.gp

People switch on the TV because of Max Verstappen, and Liberty know that. Teams know that. He’s important,” the former Red Bull driver added.

Yeah, before Max there was no F1 TV audience at all.

and according to SkyF1 people only switch on their tv's to watch the celebrity interviews and some clown wave the chequered flag.

Yes F1 is already going to loose fans with these regulations, without Max they will have the biggest exit of fans ever,

Max needs F1 more than F1 needs him. Same for all the drivers. A news cycle and one season and all is spun and forgotten.
