Why act so surprised? F1 has only been about business after liberty media took over.

if you think this is bad get into boxing lmao

Money dictates the sport, nothing new
2021-12-30 20:07
not the same because teams dont pay huge amounts to build and run the team.
2021-12-30 20:10
He won f3 2020, and f2 2021. So sad that getting seat at F1 is all about money and sponsors.
2021-12-30 20:13
Why act surprised dumb shit? thats life.
2021-12-30 20:13
Of course Piastri is better than Zhou but you should not disrespect Zhou before he has shown anything in F1. He is not even close to birdfromsky tiers of garbage, he has looked quite good in f2. Piastri will find a place according to his academy sooner rather than later

paid drivers have always been a thing, they're the reason mick didn't get a proper mentor by his side but has to contend with mazeshit
but on the other hand we've gotten someone like checo and stroll (yes, i said it), hell, lauda literally bought his way into F1
so it's a two edged sword, but truth is what everyone says - despite it, best drivers tend to get into the best cars. look at russell.

How long have you watched the sport? It is far more complex than what you described. Money is king expecially for smaller teams. They need do think if they want to develop as a team with backed finance or struggle 2-3 more years at the bottom. Two exceptionally good drivers can also be a problem. Like Alonso / Hamilton was
2021-12-30 20:21
If birdfromsky was NaVi igl they would have 5 majors!
2021-12-30 20:29
depends.. hukenburg, romain grosjean were all F2 champions but bad in F1. Same with Vandoorne(ok tbf he wasn't bad just mclaren being a sh*t box and if ur up against alonso u better win or lose ur seat lol)
2021-12-30 20:31
birdfromsky killed me lmao
2021-12-30 20:37
disgusting sport rigged by china
2021-12-30 20:37
The whole sport is centered around money and nepotism...you surprised just now?
2021-12-30 20:38
waste of gasoline and tires
2021-12-30 20:56
Nothing new sadly, never will see best drivers of the world battling it out with somewhat even cars like it should be in my mind anyway.
2021-12-30 21:46
imagine giving a shit about a sport that is solely about driving ...........
2021-12-30 21:55
My mate has just got his drive in F2 next season.
Says basically its all money driven you dont even have to be the cream of the cream in driving to make it. So dont see what the difference is in F1 unless your the top teams fighting for titles it doesnt really matter who you have driving.
2021-12-30 22:00
I feel for oscar
Aussie deserves a space in f1
Maybe he gets a chance another year if seb retires
2021-12-30 22:05
OMG GUYS NO WAY I JUST FIGURED THIS OUT, PEOPLE WITH MORE MONEY GET MORE ADVANTAGES THAN OTHERS IN LIFE GUYS WTF!!?!?
2021-12-30 22:07
go get a life you don't understand shit f2 is not like f1 and it is a big difference it also depends on money or sponsors for example haas took mazespin because his father could sponsor them. you see its all about the money and a little sport. of courses is he a good prospect but it isn't all
2021-12-30 22:43
he gets guaranteed seat (for next season)in HIS TEAM which raised him at academy. Contract for Alomso was done before his domination and for obvious reason they wont drop ocon
2021-12-31 00:03
Oscar will get to F1 when Fernando retires tbh he is Alpine's only hope :D
2022-01-17 20:59
Pay drivers have been a thing since the start of the sport lmao. Even Lauda basically bought his way into f1 and ferrari
2022-01-17 21:00
because he would probably shoot his wie thru a door
