It was a shitty track 25 years ago. Not sure how it can.

Yeah, saw that. Gotta stay away from those Snowmobiles.

I think part of this is negotiating for a bigger fee. The dilution fee is like $200ish mil now for a new team. The teams now are saying it should be $650ish Mil.

I get it on some level because the sport is growing, but hopefully they can meet somewhere in the middle. An American team that is legit trying would be good for the sport. An Asian team would be too. Part of what makes F1 cool is it’s a proper world tour of a sport, but that has to include the teams too.
