I agree that the networks share the blame, but is that because they don't want to pay a fortune to Bernie for a sport that is not well known? Sadly, I see the USA being linked solely to NASCAR for the distant future.

There is some decent racing being shown like IRL and ALMS but these are only a handful of races and only on Sundays where there is not some more popular sport to put on the tube.

I can't justify paying premium cable or satellite charges every month for 18-20 races during an entire year!

That is a comendable perspective from a sports fan with high moral,
and etical standards. I watch it free of cost over the internet.
There are three streaming souces currently available that I know of.
Oh the shame!!!!

We've had a really long dry spell finding out anything about F1 here in Los Angeles (at least before the internet age). Well the spell has been broken. Two articles this week in the front section of the powerful LA Times... Kimi, Fernando, Lewis... BMW leading the Constructors championship....

Well, no actually. As you probably guessed... it's Max!!

And it's sad because they have an excellent writer in Dan Neil (and he drives a '59 MGA!). He has an automotive column and another great one called 800 words.

Interesting opinion piece from LA Times, that compares Julie Myers and Max problems, concluding that Meyers needed to be gone, but somewhat relunctant to say the same about max, since after all, it is merely another racing league.

The conclusion towards the end is somewhat interesting:
" The class dimensions in Mosley's case are equally rich. Formula One racing's frisson of jet-setting high style is not what it used to be. In the U.S., open-wheel racing hangs on as an item of interest to the gentry of Indianapolis but is everywhere else a distant also-ran to the more populist NASCAR -- which in turn is outgrowing its trailer-park image by attracting increasing numbers of international defectors from Formula One. In this context, Mosley's taste for what looks like fairly vanilla B&D counts as another disappointment from the fading aristocracy................."
