The FIA president election rules are so weird and probably should be laughed out of the building?

Sports in general - It's amazing how the Male 18-34 demo is the one TV exes chase like a golden carrot and yet make no effort to truly get what makes them tick.

Football's Super League expansion attempt tried a 60-minute game argument as a barter to fans and it fell on its arse.

Been thinking on F1 and I think their issue is they don't respect the younger audience or make any time to understand them

Just trust that young people aren't fucking idiots and will watch way more than 100 minutes if you just engage them and respect them.

And loads of people watch the 5 minute highlights cause they want to refresh what happened.

Also your product is super expensive.

If you want people to watch the race just make sure you're showing the fun on track stuff as it happens. You've got like a whole team and 200 cameras.

And then during actual full race broadcast they are constantly pointing the camera at family, partners and celebrities instead of the on track action

The response to the changing landscape of media consumption resulted in the saying "young people can't watch sport for 100 mins". Nonsense.

The wildest part about Porsche leaving, comitting to a renewed focus on... Formula E.

Guys - Formula E barely focuses on Formula E!

If the TV managed to show any other thing happening on track they probably would have forgotten about it

Seeing quite a few people still getting full throated about turn 3 at Singapore and McLaren's apparent spiritual abandonment of Piastri and I honestly don't think it's a thing.

Honestly I hate all the paywalling and carving off everything generally so, yeah

I wonder what happened elsewhere on track

Sky begging Oscar and Lando to hate each other

Chain Bear F1 @chainbear.bsky.social · 3d

Can imagine them panicking in the media box thinking as soon as they cut away that Lando would pass. But yeah it wasn't happening and they missed everything
