Cadillac F1 entry

[Bald Guy]

Cadillac should only use USA origin drivers and team members, no offense. Winning and greed isn't everything.

I agree with about the greed part but not the winning part. Anything worth doing is worth doing correctly. In this case correctly = winning.

If that's your belief, you could have just said that Cadillac shouldn't be in F1 at all.

That's always an option. It's their call, of course.

Our cars must be trash since they were partly designed and built by people of non USA origin.

Well, it would always be good if it was 100% U.S. built, but nowadays things have changed and we get parts and manufacturing from all over. Please don't misunderstand.

Unfortunately, that phenomenon has priced people like me out of the market for tickets. I'm lucky enough to live in Austin, so prior to the recent frenzy, I had gone every year.

Now my $300 seats are $1,500. And its sold out, so the entire 10 square mile property is shoulder-to-shoulder crowded, and it takes half a day to leave after the race. So I no longer attend.

Utter and complete insanity.

But if they still sounded like they did in 2012 with the NA V8, I'd still be tempted.

2026 is supposed to improve the sound, but I believe they'll still be running turbo V6s. Its such a tiny fraction of what they used to be its a tragedy.

I went to my first F1 race in Austin in 2015, only year it ever rained there, and it flooded! It was a miserable experience but you're right, there were empty grandstands the whole weekend. Since Drive to Survive, suddenly everyone is an F1 fan. I've been to Miami in 2022 and then back to Austin again in 2024, both were absolutely sold out. Ridiculous crowds. Makes me not even want to go to another race again. It really sucks sitting in your car for up to 2 hours trying to get in and another 2 hours trying to get out of the venues with that many people.
