F1 mexico

[Tashyboy]

Listening to Jenson saying it's good to be back in Mexico and why did we ever leave ?

They reckon it is the crowd of the year. Cannot believe they have paid the same there as in Europe.

Is there something to be learned from that ?

Silverstone reduced the price of some tickets for this year and are to do same for next year...

They need to get families back in as was the case when I first started going...

Steve was that after some folk had paid higher prices then Silverstone reduced the price. Not before time though.
Went to Monza 10 yr ago and paid 360€ which was an expensive weekend. Although memorable.

Watched the race. Huge crowds definitely getting into it. Why has it taken 23 (?) years to get back on the schedule and why did it go to start with. Herbert and others said they use to really enjoy it

One of my chief gripes about F1 in recent years is how certain circuits / locations seemed to have been sacrificed for cash rich, yet boring, alternatives. For instance, there was a stage when Belgium was in and out despite Spa universally being the best track around. And locations like Mexico were ditched for Bahrain, China, Russia etc.

On top of Hockenheim being neutered / changed, it led me to believe that Bernie had taken F1 down a road where it was about making money rather than being a sport.

Read that twice and cannot argue with a letter, comma, full stop, vowel etc.

so many people feel the same way.

Indeed. How Spa could ever be dropped is a mystery. All about the next £ and $ for Bernie and he's not got a care about history, drivers/manufacturers opinions or the fans that shell out
