If you still have any aspiration to join the F1 paddock with a new team, you have to pay the other teams 20M $ each.
That's a whopping 200M just to enter the grid.

I say cartel tactics...

[Beardroid91]

wooot.. that is madness, so a new team has to pay then a combined 200 million, just crazy

According to some sources, Stephano Dominicali will be the successor of Chase Carey next Year.
Dominicali is the current CEO of Lamborghini and was previously known as F1 Ferrari team boss and is also chairman of the FIA Single seater commission.

They might as well paint the whole F1 in Rosso Corsa

Bottas on top in P2. Over a second faster than the rest of the teams.
This is clearly a track he likes.

And it is official, Domenicali will become CEO of Formula 1, congratz.

Sochi might be a bit boring track, but this qualifying was epic. Another thriller

[MadManCK]

Maybe a bit boring track through the old Olympic park at Sochi, but for some reason it gives always good races.
That was fun to watch. Lots of action, especially in the midfield.

Hamilton was rewarded 2x 5 sec time penalty for making starts outside the designated place. Rookie error TBH and costly. 3rd was max result for him. He should know better by now.
Bottas grabbed his win, followed by a hard chasing Verstappen (driver of the day)

1. V. Bottas Mercedes 1:39:52.203
2. M. Verstappen Red Bull +7.729
3. L. Hamilton Mercedes +22.729 +15.000

Bad news for RBR. Honda will quit F1 after the 2021 season.

Lets find a new engine supplier. Renault? Porsche? Or even Cosworth?
