Cracks me up when these stories break. It’s a bunch of really young dudes, with more money than they could ever spend. IG model hot hookers and drugs/alcohol. Goes together like peanut butter and jelly. All these pro athletes are getting pussy thrown at them left and right. Lucky bastards😁. . Look at Tiger. Dude is a legend. He was winning every damn tournament when he was banging all the high priced honeys. He get caught and boom, he sucked. Lol.

Nothing unusual with people switching jobs, she's out, someone else in.

Sorry but this is way too many high profile folks leaving in the middle of a season. This is not normal.

After a few of these with the updates and hopefully a Nurburgring win with the fixed GT3 motor MAX will have his foot on Toto and Zak's head step by step, little by little.

Pretty darn interesting list.

This is Formula 1
@ThisIsFormu1a1
🚨| Who owns each Formula 1 team?:

— McLaren's ownership is primarily controlled by Bahrain's Mumtalakat, holding a majority stake in the McLaren Group. McLaren Racing, responsible for F1 and IndyCar, is 70.8% owned by McLaren Group, with CYVN Holdings and other minority investors completing the structure.

— Mercedes is co-owned by Mercedes-Benz AG, Ineos Industries Holdings, and Motorsport Invest Limited, each holding a third. Toto Wolff's stake was partially sold to George Kurtz, valuing the team at $6.4 billion.

— Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri are fully owned by Red Bull GmbH. The Yoovidhya family holds 51%, with Mark Mateschitz owning the rest. The combined value of the teams is estimated at $7.5 billion, excluding Red Bull Powertrains.

— Ferrari is owned by Ferrari S.p.A. Exor N.V. holds 22.91%, Piero Ferrari owns 10%, and the remaining shares are publicly traded. The company went public in 2015 on the New York and Milan stock exchanges.

— Williams is owned by Dorilton Capital, a US-based private investment firm. They acquired the team in 2020 for $200 million, investing heavily to increase its value to $2.7 billion.

— Aston Martin F1 is owned by AMR GP Limited, controlled by Yew Tree Consortium led by Lawrence Stroll. The team is separate from the car company, with commercial ties through naming rights.

— Haas is entirely owned by Gene Haas through Haas Automation and Haas Formula LLC. Toyota is a title sponsor but not an owner.

— Audi, formerly Sauber, is owned by Volkswagen Group. Audi sold 30% to Qatar Investment Authority. Finn Rausing initially retained a stake but eventually sold completely.

— Alpine is owned by Renault Group (76%) and Otro Capital (24%). Otro is looking to sell, with potential buyers including Christian Horner and Mercedes-Benz AG.

— Cadillac F1 is owned by TWG Global, with no equity held by General Motors. TWG Motorsports and TWG Global are upstream owners, with GM involved in branding and power unit supply.

People come and people go, F1 is like money dealers in the City, head hunter says another one is offering more for you then you leave. Plenty more lining up to take the vacant job(s) and probably better, it's business.

Sill us, we are the problem. Nothing to see here, Move along.

F1 chief Stefano Domenical reckons detractors of F1's 2026 rules have too much of an engineer's mindset, and that fans want the close battles the new rules are producing, in this exclusive interview with The Race F1 Podcast.

Dumb and dumber come to mind with Domi, young fans are being led up the garden path with his tattle.

IMO, he's just trying to spin up something positive. He knows there are issues.

The stands are packed because people got hooked from the last regulations and haven't quite fallen off yet. Too much of this though, and people will.

I bought tickets to the Mexico GP last November. Well before everyone started racing in these stupid cars. At this point, I'm more excited about my trip to Mexico City and our trip to Nayarit than the actual racing itself.

Well there's always the Formula 2 race? That's me being positive!

what is normal though, is shouldn't RB now relieve GP of his duties so he doesn't bring too many secrets across to McLaren? like put him at the desk to answer the phone, bring coffee, etc?

serious question, secrets etc.

Stefano, F1 '26 and Mission Impossible by Peter Windsor
Peter responds to a viewer's question about the role currently being played by Stefano Domenicali, the CEO of F1. Stefano remains buoyant in the face of criticism - and that's no surprise, says Peter, given the amount of power the F1 teams have ceded to Liberty, F1's commercial rights holder. F1 today, he adds, is a very different animal to the annual Bernie-and-Max Show.
With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets:

Very honest overview. Sadly no answer to this. Liberty is going to do what they are going to do.

Great move. I have always been a fan of McNish in and out of the car.

Allan McNish will become the Audi #F1 team’s racing director as part of a reorganisation triggered by the recent departure of Jonathan Wheatley:
