So #F1 has officially rejected Andretti-Cadillac with a rash of bullshit reasons.
I have just four words to say to that:
GET FUCKED, LIBERTY MEDIA. 🖕 😒
With the looming scourge of street circuits bookended by the completely debunked excuse that they're "lower carbon emissions" and now this, I'm not sure how compelled I will feel to keep up with F1 over the next few years.
Liberty Media and #F1 have made it clear that they want the sport to stagnate into nothing more than a hollow money maker for its investors.
Andretti-Cadillac is a FAR, FAR, FAR more serious effort than HAAS is willing to put into the sport. They've literally ALREADY started gearing up to begin wind tunnel testing of a chassis prototype, and they are BY FAR one of the three biggest racing names in the United States--alongside Penske and Petty.
I hope Liberty Media and #F1 get sat on a cactus for this. 🖕 😒
@dragonarchitect "How do we get Americans interested in F1?"
"I dunno, let one of the biggest names in US racing in?"
"NO WE'VE ALREADY GOT HAAS!!!"
@renbymon "How do we get Americans interested in F1?"
"More American street tracks!!"
"Brilliant! Americans love street racing! (And we love the moneeeyyyy)"
"Bring in one of the biggest names in US racing!!"
"NO, we've already got enough teams and they might not even be serious enough about it! (And it splits up the pool of moneeeyyyy...)"
