With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

I think the teams better leave town as quickly as they can. If I were the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, I'd impound the team cars and trailers and demand a lot of money.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Why is this the team's fault? I bet all the drivers were eager to go, but with bad hardware, what should they do... risk being thrown out of the curve at 300kph?Originally posted by DanS

Ecclestone and Michelin are to blame IMO. First one because he didn't install the chicane and second because they failed the hardware.Comment

It doesn't matter whose fault it is. The cars and trailers are on the track's lot. That's the only leverage the track has to get money out of the sport. The track has refunds to pay.Why is this the team's fault?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

I think the blame should go to
1st - Michelin,
2nd - Max Mosley, so FIA.
3rd - Ferrari (morally).Ich bin der Zorn Gottes. Wer sonst ist mit mir?Comment

Do you want to see someone die, DanS?
If so, look for the last time that happened due to poor safety. Ayrton Senna, probably the best driver of his generation was killed.

There are English football teams two divisions below the Premiership that still attract crowds of 20,000- 30,000. That's what bumps the figures up.Originally posted by DanS
The Premiership scales to equal attendance to MLB (I expect 75 million + this year for MLB and wouldn't be surprised to see 78 million), but your lower tier leagues are better attended than Minor League Baseball. That's what's pretty huge.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

Angry spectators can = less racers down the road.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

People all over the world watch F1. It's very expensive and even more so unless you are the sort of rich guy who can jet set to each of the races.Originally posted by Oerdin

In terms of popularity NASCAR isn't even close to F1.Only feebs vote.Comment

Yes i know that. But I was not speaking about track attendance only (neither you). F1 focus in TV attendance since it is that matter to sponsors.orry man but even the BBC has reported NASCAR as the world's most popular form of racing based upon track attendence.

This was the scene yesterday at the IMS...
Formula One fans leave en masse from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway June 19, 2005 during early laps of the U.S. Formula One Grand Prix. Thousands of disappointed fans left the track early after only six cars started the race after a fiasco over Michelin tire safety forced the remaining seven teams to pull out after the warm-up lap.
