A brilliant example of why F1 is so out of touch, notice that they haven't included any footage ? only static pictures ? because FOM are a bunch of inward looking luddites ... teh second they added any video (fair use or not) the video would get taken down ..

These videos the Formula E people are putting out are so damn cool.

Their whole formula feels like somebody gathered a bunch of people around a table, and said pretend you have the wild imagination of a 10 year old and an unlimited budget. Now go create a racing spectacle.
I love it.

I was a little disappointed when Bruno didn't shoot him.
You remind me of when Bernie said there wasn't enough interest for F1 to broadcast in HD. This was in 2010.

Man, I'm watching this years NASCAR Daytona 500 race on Youtube right now, and this is just so much more fun and quality than F1 it's not even funny. Also the commentators are really good and seem very passionate. I subbed to the NASCAR Youtube channel and will watch this regularly. I sadly have been losing interest in F1 over the last years, after being a religious viewer since around 1992. This (and DTM) will be the racing sports I'll be watching from now on.
One thing that will take some getting used to is the noise of the cars... In F1 broadcasts, you usually get the sound of one lone car steadily driving on its racing line like meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow, and in the NASCAR broadcast its pewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpew as you have dozens of cars flying by in a pack at 200 miles per hour. It's awesome! I especially like the cams that are buried in the track and will make you want to dodge away from the screen. The action is so fast that I actually get a bit nauseous from watching it :O
Another cool thing is that there is a woman driving, too. Great great stuff, I'm reall happy to have found a new sport I enjoy watching.

Imagine this in VR :O the future will be insane.
This was fantastic. The whole Brawn story/origin and 2009 season would possibly make a great film in several years. The season itself wasn't bad, and the stuff they spoke about was very interesting and generally quite incredible really... That thing about the dodgy property owner or whatever was also rather amusing!

The problem with Formula E is that the tracks and racing are kind of sucky.
It's really fucking ridiculous.
I am not even sure if I would be sad anymore if F1 goes down in a burning dumpster fire. Somebody would make an adequate successor series, and that series could not be managed worse than what we have today.

The track are shit, I wouldn't say the racing is though. Has been some excellent racing in Formula E.

Daniel Day Lewis should play Button...
When they said they wanted to make F1 more like the glory days of the 1970s I didn't realise they meant this

Las Vegas Car Park to replace Monza? What a time to be alive.
Bernie would want a race on the strip, never mind how bad the track would be.
A quick glance shows me that the infield circuit at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is shit, and I don't want open wheel cars on the banks again
It will probably be a shitty street circuit...at night (due to the heat). Singapore v2.0

I cant imagine anything very entertaining coming out of a Vegas race but it would probably be well attended and the bookies would absolutely love it.
Yep. With all the casinos lit up like crazy for the free advertising.

Bernie should just dump all the classic tracks for 21 Tilke tracks and kill the sport once and for all.
The sooner we get a breakaway series without the Demon Headmaster in charge, the better.
Never forget

Long Beach should have been it. A great circuit and I could actually go.
I might get to see Formula E but my schedule is odd.

There is no chance of a breakaway series ever, no way Sky woudl pay £1BN for rights if there was an even remote chance of their golden goose dying, its a cluster fuck, everyone wants to make money no one gives a fuck about the fans ...
darkinstinct
...lacks reading comprehension.
Aren't there way too many hotel rooms next to the Strip? Who would actually pay to watch the race?
Nah, you wouldn't have to run along the strip, just run across it once or twice then stick to a few blocks away. But it would be weird no matter how you turn it.
Formula E is also this weekend?
Damn, MotoGP, Formula E and Formula one on the same weekend

Come on lads, chuck some cans at each other or something.

But we have a new qualifying system ;-)
Likewise. Australia was fairly entertaining. I'm once again feeling drained by all the off-track politics, though. Really saps my enthusiasm for the sport.

Should be more interesting than the new qualifying format in F1.
They ran out of challenge ideas somewhere mid last season and just kept doing them, they are hilariously awkward, I love it.
Looking forward to the Formula E race in Berlin (May), close to where i live. It's not completely save if the track they have planned is going to work (Street race - Karl-Marx-Street). Some district permissions are still not given. District is against the race but the Berlin senate is happy to give permissions over the head of the district.
Race was planned at an abandoned Airport - Tempelhof - but got cancel there because of refugees.

I wouldn't make much out of each of Bernie's "announcements".
Las Vegas is just a plot to pressure Monza to play ball and it's been years announcing a new shareholder for F1.
More of the same.

I was under the impression that the Monza organisers had already pretty much accepted their fate.

There's time to reach a deal, it's just playing hardball.
Contracts mean nothing if the local government says "ha, no".
Can't imagine they are going to shut down the Las Vegas Strip for an entire weekend for F1.

I thought the last few Monza races had been pretty good.
Edit - Actually, seems 2015 was bad, 2014 was good, 2013 was bad, 2012 was good... so by that, we're in for a good year!
I can definitely remember some banzai overtakes into the first chicane, and then into the next straight. Especially ones involving Vettel (either being overtaken by Ricciardo, or overtaking / pushing Alonso onto the grass).

Honda on Alonsos engine: ICE & most surrounding parts have been heavily damaged. We will be replacing the complete power unit in Bahrain.
