Good to see they haven't sold out to the Mazepins and the mighty rouble.
I think it’s a matter of time, the financial situation of Mazepin’s father allows him to buy half of the piloton.
Totally agree! I can see it being Racing Point/Aston Martin mk2. I hope it's not indicative of the way the sport may go, with ultra rich persons buying teams, or buying into teams as projects in order to get a family member or friend into an F1 car.
it's surely only a matter of time before someone with serious money from China or the Middle East gets on the grid in order to create a Chinese/Saudi (or other) champion. Perhaps even another Russian. Hopefully the budget cap should prevent a situation similar to, say, Man City or PSG in football, but it's something to look out for.
