Cadillac Joins F1

Cadillac, the first new team to join Formula 1 racing in 10 years, has chosen Sergio "Checo" Perez and Valtteri Bottas as drivers for its inaugural season. Both of them bring over a decade of experience on the circuit. Bottas also brings one of global sport's best mullets.

F1 is really a sport for the VERY wealthy. Most people can't even afford to be in Las Vegas when the race is in town. It makes the cab drivers furious. The track screws up traffic for weeks.

Better than that era where the only American team had cars painted as the Russian flag.

What do you mean a sport FOR the very wealthy?

In Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Its a very popular sport, given its nationalistic promotion, and is often talked about by the hoi poloi.

True about Vegas. Not just screw up traffic, it blocks the people ability to see it from the bridges and streets.
But Vegas has been dying since the Sphere went up, not saying its the cause, but since it went up the hamburger is now $50. This isn't bringing the Boomer RV crowd.

Good news for Perez, but Bottas is sort of washed up.

Ah well, let's all hope he doesn't deport the drivers to Uganda.
