Remark of the day

Deerhunter is unimpressed by Formulation 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali’s declare that younger followers don’t care concerning the distinction between historic and fashionable venues.

I hate this sort of generalisation.

I stay in Southeast Asia and have met a bunch of youthful, information followers from native watch events (some had been Drive to Survive converts, even), and I can say with absolute certainty that there a whole lot of them who’d favor to go to Suzuka over Singapore exactly due to the historical past and the tradition.

I do perceive that with Abu Dhabi having air-conditioned pit garages, even outdated tracks must sustain with the time a la Silverstone. However saying youthful followers care little about historical past is a few gross mischaracterisation.

And I do like going to the Singapore Grand Prix as leisure is at all times aplenty, however that’s at all times been a race for socialites, not followers.Deerhunter
