But it gives Bernie more money and that seems to be all he cares about. Teams will be loosing revenue from sponsors as their logos wont be in front of as many people. Does seem madness to me but Bernie and co have made huge sums from his business sense. Plus teams get a % of income so while they will loose sponsorship money IF they finish high enough they will get prize money the year after the championship has finished! remember only top 10 teams get prize money!!!! So with Hass in 2016 that may mean 2 teams with Zero prize money in 2017 and having to pay for he 2017 massive rues change!!!
Blimey I miss terrestrial television, loud roaring engines and getting up at stupid o'clock for Australian GP in red hot scorching conditions (unlike now!).
