Although not surprising, the British Racing
Drivers Club (BRDC) made public at a press briefing yesterday in Bloody 'Ol
England that it was triggering it's Break clause to end its current contract to
host the British Grand Prix following the conclusion of the 2019 race.
As the BRDC claims it's lost some seven-plus
million Pounds the past two years despite having record crowds witness Lewis
Hamilton win the last three consecutive British Grands Prix.
And even with this year's captivating
Driver's championship fight expected to bring some 135,000 adoring Brits' to Silverstone,
the BRDC expects to lose another 4m-plus Pounds on this year's event...
Yet naturally, Formula 1's new owner's
Liberty Media are Talking Tough, or should that be Turkey? by claiming how
pissed off they're at the BRDC and Silverstone for going public just days
before the race weekend! Not to mention
upstaging the sport's first ever Live F1 Show in London prior to the Grand
Prix; Boo-Hoo-Hoo! Cry me a river Liberty; Uhm? Like didn't they have to
activate their Break clause prior to this year's race...
As Liberty's gotta talk tough since obviously
the other twenty, or is that twenty-five? Track Promoters are intently watching
the bargaining playing out, and if Britain get's a "Sweetheart Deal,"
then why not them?
Time to Buck Up Liberty! As you've taken
great care in deliberately placing the Blame on everything that's currently
wrong with Formula 1, i.e.; current contracts, Heritage payments, Pay TV
contracts and lack of future vision for the sport on Chairman Emeritus Bernard
Charles Ecclestone, and told the BRDC you wouldn't renegotiate their current
deal...
So the BRDC and Silverstone took up their
only option, and now you've gotta Deal with It! As seriously? You're gonna let
the series largest attended race in the bastion of Formula 1, where six/seven
of the ten current F1 Teams reside to not host their signature Home race? Oh
Puh-lease, what's that 'bout making the sport Fan Friendly?
As meet the New
Boss, same as the Old Boss; We Don't want our biggest drawing Super Bowl NO
More...
