You might have observed various posts on social media from the FIA yesterday.
Nothing to do with the sh*t present that’s F1 2026, and particularly the foundations making use of to energy models, however moderately one thing else that „powers“ the Components One World Championship.
A report ready by the game’s governing physique, and obediently taken up by the standard media lickspittles, reveals that „20,000 volunteers energy every F1 season“.
„With out volunteers we couldn’t go racing,“ they declare, „and the FIA F1 Volunteer Report has revealed the distinctive position they’ve powering Components 1.“
A sport which overtly flaunts its (growing) wealth, the place even these groups in the back of the grid are value billions, the place circuits/nations are dropped from the schedule, or placed on a rotational foundation, as a result of they can not afford the charges.
And the governing physique overtly admits that it could not proceed with out those that give their time – and infrequently a lot, far more – without cost.“

I awoke within the evening, as you generally do, with an article virtually absolutely shaped in my head; when or if I get spherical to really writing it stays to be seen.
The essential idea is that; “they’re all on the identical aspect”.
By that I imply that again within the day we had Bernie, Max and the groups… all the time preventing, all the time threatening, divide and rule was the best way.
However now, F1/Liberty, the FIA and the groups are united, all singing from the identical hymn sheet.
I’ve been essential of the official F1 web site for by no means posting something unfavourable, however the identical goes for the groups. Amidst all of the crap they submit on social media – ship us pics of your pets and merchandise, is it race week, right here’s Charles pouting, it is Oscar’s birthday, here is Pierre’s pooch – there’s by no means any point out of scandal, no reference to the 2026 guidelines outcry or something remotely unfavourable.
And the explanation they’re united, is that now all of them have the identical widespread purpose, cash. F1/Liberty has given them one thing Bernie and Max would by no means have allowed, the thought that they’re all equal.
The brand new followers they cater for are the longer term, they aren’t up to now or anything, all they see is progress and extra money, and the precise racing could be very small a part of the package deal.“
