It's unbelievable how F1 is killing itself because Bernie only cares about the Rolex senior rich people and nobody in the sport does anything. Ferrari has all that power but never use them to stop Bernie from doing anything that is actually killing the sport.
Bernie is only looking for short term gains. He doesn't care about the next 10 years, he cares about his immediate bank account. Killed almost every traditional European grand prix (and those that are still standing most are in jeopardy), sign TV deals that diminish the actual TV audience in exchange for higher licensing fees (at the same time we see less sponsors at F1 because the exposure is a lot smaller since fucking Bernie is signing TV deals for F1 on pay-TV). And teams actually do nothing. McLaren is a debacle without sponsors and Ron Dennis never said a single word about Bernie deals killing the interest of sponsors in appearing on F1 cars.
Of course the actual racing is also a disaster which doesn't help. Since they started with tyre limits, fuel limits, engine limits, tokens, development limits, budget caps, everything has gone to shit. I've said it many times, but you actually see a lot less endurance racing in WEC than you see on F1 when F1 is supposed to be the formula for driving like qualifying 100% of the time.
Lewis said it best. It doesn't care if you make cars 5 seconds faster if you don't give them to tools to drive on the limit without worrying about dirty air, tyre management, fuel management etc.
But I'm already expecting the always knee-jerking nature of F1, Bernie and Todt deciding to scrap V6 engines like it's their fault. It doesn't matter what engine you run (maybe Mercedes won't win anymore) if you keep all the limits in.

R Why do I still care about this?
