Anyone suspicious over F1 influences?

[anonymous-user]

I can't help being cynical but as an avid F1 fan I kind of wonder how much the whole thing is 'tweaked' to ensure maximum viewing potential and therefore revenue.

We all know that rule changes are commonplace to keep the interest up - DRS, KERS and Radio Ban etc etc but how far does this go?

Complaints of consecutive Redbull wins - do Redbull agree to have an 'off' season?

Rosberg gets punished for the crash incident - a fine apparently. Or does he accidentally overcook the corner and let lewis past? This week he happens to have an electrical problem. I wonder if the real punishment was to have the lead reduced by unexpected issues?

Complete bks, why on earth would red bull damage their brand by having a crap year, and why would merc try to throw away a championship with redbull coming on so strong right now!?

Go take the medication the looney bin prescribed you!

Because a certain key figure in F1 advises them that if they were to have a bad year they may be compensated in some unexpected way.

Possible if not entirely probably.. I don't doubt there is some 'pressure' to endure (sorry I mean enhance) the spectacle...

Four years though?

Yes it's all rigged by the same people that filmed the moon landing in Peruvian desert and who rigged the Scottish referendum to finish No.

I think some of you may be surprised how loud money can talk and exactly how much influence some people have.

So you think that the multi-billion dollar owners of the top 3 teams in F1 have been 'influenced' by the promise of a couple of million dollars from Ecclestone to throw races or championships? Get real mate.

What an idiotic, moronic thread.

'nuff said.

And not forgetting all the sponsors too.

I'm picking up on a 'no' vibe for this question
