··Ash @ ΩFInteresting news, it looks like Carlos Slim just bought Force India... Perez has been saying his sponsors were considering their options before a couple of days ago confirming he was staying at the team, now the fourth richest man in the world (worth 51 Billion) has bought it out... if he wants to he can take this team from the upper midfield to competing with the likes of Redbull and Mercedes, and even they can't outspend him.

Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone says he has been asked to stay on for three years once a takeover of the sport is completed by Liberty Media.

··Ash @ ΩFYea I think most of us expected that though, F1 will only be pried from Bernie's cold dead hand.

Liberty Media will purchase auto racing league Formula One.
The mass media group will acquire Formula One in a deal that represents an equity value of $4.4 billion for the racing organization. Liberty Media will hold an 18.7 percent minority stake in the Formula One immediately, and then the remainder when the deal closes as early as the first quarter of 2017.
Chase Carey, executive vice president of 21st Century Fox, will be appointed chairman of Formula One. Bernie Ecclestone, current CEO of the racing group, will remain in his position.
Liberty Media will pay$1.1 billion in cash, 138 million Liberty Media shares and $351 million worth of an exchangeable debt instrument to be issued by Formula One, which can be exchanged into Liberty Media shares. It will also assume $4.1 billion in Formula One's current debt.
After the deal, Liberty Media intends to change its name to the Formula One Group. CVC, the current largest shareholder of Formula One, will own about 65 percent of the to-be-renamed Liberty Media group, but it won't have control of voting shares.
Liberty Media's Liberty Capital division also owns the Atlanta Braves.
The U.S.-based company, which is controlled by Chairman John Malone, also has a 27 percent investment stake in Charter Communications, Inc., a 53 percent stake in Sirius XM Radio, Inc., and a 26 percent stake in Live Nation Entertainment Company, as well as smaller investments in Viacom, Time Warner, Sprint Corporation and Barnes & Noble, among others.

··Ash @ ΩFThe little Dutchman did well today, I'm hoping Daniel's still got a bit saved up for quali tomorrow, what's really surprising though is how effective the McLaren Honda seemed to be in Alonso's hands, if you're Ferrari you'd have to be concerned about coming into the season hoping to challenge the Mercedes' and now seeing Redbull-TAGHeuer convincingly in front with McLaren right on your heels.
Also, we've moved this thread along with most car / motorsport related to The Garage, a new topic to give them a hope outside of watch topics.

·Yea, the frustrating thing is I feel bad for him but his remarks just add fuel to the fire regarding the conspiracy theorists who are now bombarding Mercedes with abuse and calling their engineers on Lewis' side of the garage corrupt and incompetent when they really don't deserve that.
"We shall miss Nigel the driver, but not Nigel the bloke."
Hamilton's engineers didn't put him in the wall in Baku or make him drive like he was hungover in Singapore. He needs to get his head down and focus on Japan.

·Yes, it's all quite strange. The truth will be that either Lewis' crew is not installing the engine correctly or that his driving is causing problems- I have no doubt that "out of the crate" the engine will be exactly the same as the others.

··Ash @ ΩFSo... 9 Australians have been arrested in Malaysia for celebrating Danny Rics win by stripping down to Malaysian flag themed underpants on the track during the podium, with some other reports claiming there was a nudie run involved also. They're supposedly being charged with public indecency and disrespecting the flag.
