    Today I give you a little shallow dive into who exactly Liberty Media are, the company who purchased Formula 1 back in 2017. What do they do, what have they done for Formula 1, and ultimately, do I think they will lead the sport to success - or failure.
    Let me know your opinions and thoughts below, like always I will make the time to respond to every single one of you - so make it good!

      @@NulJern Your reply happens to be wrong. You said that F1 us about racing, right ? Racing means changing positions, overtakes, mistakes, gambles, successfull things, drama and stuff. What's the point of having a race if none of that happens? Better only have qualifying then since it decides who will win. F1 was becomming more like endurance ! But WEC already exits!
      You cannot hide the fact that F1 became boring, causing its decline. The begining of 2019 is exactly the peak of it. Most boring races ever!
      Looks like you didn't even like 2010 and 2012, considered to be the greatest seasons!
      It cannot be about speed anymore, we are not far from the limit, and it gets really expensive and tends to kill off racing. It's not like the 80s, 90s and 2000s where champs were fighting each other like crazy giving us some entertainment with cool looking cars.
      If you want speed then put the cars on rails and see them wandering around like a model train set.

Never claimed all seasons are equally good, but saying 2019 was the most boring proves you know nothing about racing. You are right i liked the 04 05 06 07 08 seasons better, but i accepted they were trying something new to get better racing, which didn't work. And it's just wrong that 2010 and 2012 was considered the greatest seasons, where the hell have you been, and where do you get your info? Your arguments are destroying your own credibility. We should be pushing the limit, not backing off, that is not what racing or f1 is about, and f1 is supposed to be expensive, it's the high end technology and the teams race to build the most advanced racing cars that makes f1 different for indy car. Rather have a race with one amazing overtake than a race with 5 or more easy overtakes. If u want more batles and easy overtakes go watch nascar.

    I think a key thing is the social media aspects and especially relaxing the rules on social media and showing behind the scens of races. F1 is not a directly relatable sport for new fans (compared to football wich anyone can play for example), so making the fans feel like they are truly part of a race weekend makes them more engaged and more wanting for a team.

      The success of a youtube channel is not about how many in the comments you reply. It's about what you are saying and if there is any truth to what you are saying. The big problem with youtubers and so called influencers is that they also influence people even if they are talking shit about something they don't know shit about. They might even get success without telling the truth but their cridibility will get tested the more popular they get and maybe someone who actually knows about f1 comes by and tell them that. Would love to see this fresh faced guy actually talk or interview somebody in f1, just for the pure entertainment.

    That was amazing. Im brazilian, living in Spain since im a kiddo. So, Ayrton is my Hero, been raised into It, my father is one of those dudes that didn't lose a race since 87. So, I wasnt into F1, until I saw Drive to Survive, It got me back to my childhood, and then, put me back into my new reality. Im 25, and I love F1 now. The only sport I follow. The Drive to Survive thing, is one of the best marketing moves I've seen in a while, because its gonna get such a lot of people like me into It again, and its awesome.

You should be fan because of the drivers, the cars, and the racing not because they made a highlight compilation you thought was cool. A strong fan watch every test, practise, quali and race, no matter how many highlights or crashes there was. Highlights are for wannabe fans who doesn't love racing and who can't be botherdĂžed watching the actual race.

Now I follow all the teams and drivers on Facebook, Instagram, CZcams and Twitter as well as every decent F1 youtuber :)

    Before watching Drive to Survive, I was hardly aware that F1 even existed. Thats just the reality of how the sport was covered by major sports networks in the US. At the time I would have never even considered myself to be a fan of any type of motorsport. After watching the series, I was immediately hooked by the spectacle of it al and went on to watch every race of the 2019 calendar live as it happened. Nowadays I would say I’m borderline addicted to consuming as much F1 content as I can get. I certainly owe it to Liberty Media for allowing me to find what has become my favorite hobby/interest.

It is supposed to be about racing and innovation and not always about adding a bunch of random stuff to shake things up. There is a risk of some (more) purity of the sport to get lost - if that makes sense. Luckily we have Ross Brawn guarding that.

It needs tons of improvements and has actually gone down several times since it's been around. One time they actually gave out refunds (which was cool) cuz there was no service at all.
