Louise Young is responsible for the F1 calendar. The Australian lawyer and her team manage the motorsport series' relationships with promotor organisations around the world. They are responsible for bringing in new races onto the calendar; for negotiating contracts with existing race promotors; and for ensuring that host venues meet all the requirements - safety, racing, logistical, commercial, fan experience - that a modern, elite, global racing series has. F1 is having a moment. Propelled by the takeover of Liberty Media in 2017, and spurred by the success of media initiatives like Drive to Survive and the F1 movie, the series is riding the wave of success; growing its fanbase around the world as well as its portfolio of partners. The calendar, too, is in a good place. There are 24 races in the 2026 F1 season. Young and her team have 26 promotors under contract and a schedule that's locked in through 2028. As she explains on this episode of Leaders Worth Knowing, her challenge is a sophisticated one: making good on F1's mission to have a truly global spread of 'Super Bowls' on the calendar, and maintaining serious interest in race hosting around the world with little short-term hope of awarding rights. But new deals have been done of late. Creative negotiating has led to annually alternating race hosting in Belgium and Barcelona, allowing Portugal and Türkiye to come on to the calendar. Madrid is preparing to host its first F1 race later this summer. And rumours swirl around future races in Argentina and Africa. But what does it take to become an F1 race host today? Any way in to Louise Young is the first requirement.

En este episodio de #MotoGP 2026 repasamos Mugello y Hungría, la remontada de Marc Márquez, el papel de Aprilia y Bezzecchi y los cambios que empiezan a perfilarse con Liberty Media y la MSMA, con tiempo también para un cierre anecdótico que nos lleva de Kenny Roberts a Valentino Rossi.

Michael Walrath, Chairman and CEO of Yext, returns to break down why the market has left a profitable, $400 million mid-cap public software company trading at one times revenue, even with over $100 million in EBITDA. He joins AJ Bruno and Asad Zaman to argue that the so-called SaaS apocalypse has almost no data behind it, that most AI layoffs are really a decade of go-to-market overhiring unwinding, and that boring compounders still out-return the hypergrowth darlings. Topics include how venture capital distorts software valuations, why no one is coming to help the 2021 unicorns stuck in broken cap tables, the great GTM despecialization, and the extend-and-pretend game inside venture funds. Plus, a Quiz Pro Quo on new business creation in the US and a Bulls and Bears debate on the future of mid-cap software and the stickiness of the AI platform. Read Michael's essay, No One's Coming to Help You: https://x.com/michaelpwalrath/status/2051364181237010778 Key Takeaways: - The market has left profitable mid-cap software for dead in favor of AI-native growth stories, and Michael Walrath, Chairman and CEO at Yext, leaned into how strange that is for a business that still prints cash. As he put it, "who's writing our obituary? It's the venture capitalists who are funding high-growth ARR companies," even as those same firms can't say what that ARR really means. - The loudest voices setting software valuations are venture investors, and Michael argued their certainty is out of step with their actual hit rate. He called them "remarkably sure of themselves for guys whose whole business model is being right 5 to 10% of the time," noting that being right much more often than that would mean a VC is playing it too safe. - Michael's answer to the hypergrowth-or-die mindset is that durable value comes from compounding cash flow, not chasing the next high-growth story. Pointing to a century of market history and operators like Berkshire Hathaway and Liberty Media, he said, "if you compound effectively, you will out-return these super high growth stories, unless those super high growth stories eventually become compounders." - A lot of the layoffs being blamed on AI may be a decade of go-to-market overhiring finally unwinding. Michael framed the skeptic's question directly: "is it really AI? Or is this a choice that you're making because you overhired for 10 years." Asad Zaman, CEO at Sales Talent Agency, agreed, pointing out that even inside the most AI-native companies he visits, the fundamental way the business runs has not really changed.

Ante la incomparecencia de McLaren, Mercedes ha vuelto a dominar es este pasado GP de Canadá 2026. Lo bueno, para los aficionados, es que el equipo está dejando luchar libremente a sus dos pilotos y eso está desatando una pequeña guerra civil. La realización de la carrera por parte de Liberty Media, eso sí, fue lamentable, perdiéndose momentos clave de la misma, poniendo repeticiones en ventanitas minúsculas y demás lindeces. Al menos, parece que en Aston Martin hay brotes verdes. Gracias por escucharnos y ¡¡Keep Pushing!! Si te ha gustado este episodio, dale like y compártelo.

La Fórmula 1 regresó en Miami con más preguntas que respuestas… y salió del fin de semana con algo que llevaba tiempo sin tener: cierta sensación de mejora. Tras 5 semanas de espera, desde el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos hablan de lo que sí y lo que no ha mejorado en la nueva F1. ¿Ha vuelto el espectáculo? Tras las polémicas acumuladas en las primeras carreras del año, la FIA y Liberty Media introdujeron una serie de ajustes técnicos que debían devolver claridad y naturalidad al espectáculo. Y, al menos en parte, lo han conseguido. El Gran Premio de Miami ofreció un fin de semana completo: Sprint, carrera principal, adelantamientos, estrategias variadas y una dosis importante de incertidumbre. Elementos que, en conjunto, devolvieron algo de vida a una categoría que parecía atrapada en su propia complejidad. Lo más destacado de las modificaciones. Uno de los aspectos más destacados fue la reducción del protagonismo del “superclipping”, una de las grandes críticas de las últimas semanas. Las maniobras en pista resultaron, en muchos casos, más naturales y menos condicionadas por picos artificiales de energía. La sensación de estar viendo adelantamientos “reales” volvió a aparecer en distintos momentos de la carrera. También hubo una mayor diversidad estratégica: undercuts decisivos, paradas clave y decisiones en tiempo real volvieron a formar parte del guion, alejándose de la previsibilidad que había marcado otras citas del calendario. Los protagonistas del fin de semana: los pilotos. En el plano deportivo, el protagonismo volvió a centrarse en Kimi Antonelli, que continúa firmando un inicio de temporada extraordinario con tres victorias y tres poles consecutivas. Sin embargo, su dominio no es absoluto: Lando Norris se quedó a apenas dos segundos, evidenciando que la lucha está más abierta de lo que indican los resultados. McLaren, de hecho, fue uno de los grandes protagonistas del fin de semana. Con ambos coches en el podio y un ritmo competitivo constante, el equipo británico ha dado un paso adelante significativo, situándose al nivel de Mercedes pese a compartir unidad de potencia. La diferencia, una vez más, parece estar en la gestión y el desarrollo aerodinámico. ¿A qué se ha dedicado el resto? Ferrari y Red Bull también mostraron evolución, especialmente con la introducción de nuevas soluciones aerodinámicas como las denominadas “alas Macarena”, que reflejan hasta dónde puede llegar la innovación en este apartado. Sin embargo, los italianos siguen generando dudas sobre su rendimiento global, especialmente en términos de potencia. En la zona media, Williams protagonizó una de las sorpresas más positivas: con ambos coches en zona de puntos, se confirma una mejora notable en el equipo, que parece haber dejado atrás su peor momento. Y, a modo de sorpresa esperada, el séptimo puesto de Colapinto, tras un cambio de chasis. También hubo polémicas. El fin de semana también estuvo marcado por la polémica. Las sanciones, como la impuesta a Max Verstappen por cruzar la línea blanca en la salida del pit lane, y las investigaciones posteriores volvieron a tener protagonismo, alimentando el debate sobre la consistencia de las decisiones de los comisarios. En cuanto a la seguridad, uno de los grandes focos de preocupación tras Japón, el silencio posterior puede interpretarse como una señal positiva. No hubo incidentes graves relacionados con las diferencias de velocidad, lo que sugiere que las medidas adoptadas podrían estar funcionando. En conjunto, Miami deja una conclusión clara: la Fórmula 1 ha mejorado. Pero aún no está completamente arreglada.

MotoGP está entrando en un terreno desconocido. Lo que parecía una negociación más entre fábricas y organizador se está transformando en un pulso de poder que puede redefinir el campeonato tal y como lo conocemos. En este episodio analizamos a fondo el conflicto entre la MSMA, Dorna Sports y Liberty Media. Un escenario en el que ya no solo se habla de dinero, sino de control, calendario, modelo de negocio… y futuro. ¿Están las fábricas en su momento de mayor poder? ¿Está Dorna perdiendo peso como interlocutor? ¿Qué papel juega Liberty en todo esto? ¿Existe realmente la posibilidad de un campeonato paralelo? Hablamos también del desgaste de los equipos, del exceso de carreras, del reparto económico… y de cómo todo esto puede acabar afectando directamente a pilotos, contratos y estructura del paddock. Un programa imprescindible para entender qué está pasando realmente en MotoGP… y hacia dónde puede dirigirse.

On 24 April 2005, the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola became one of the defining races of Fernando Alonso's first championship season. He won for Renault, but the result is remembered above all for the final laps, when Michael Schumacher brought the Ferrari close enough to make every corner matter. Alonso had started second. Schumacher had started 13th on the grid after a difficult qualifying session, yet as his pace came alive, it transformed the afternoon. Kimi Räikkönen had led early for McLaren before retiring with a driveshaft problem, and Alonso inherited a race that soon became a test of control as much as speed. In the closing phase, Schumacher was the faster driver. He had the Ferrari underneath him, the experience of seven world titles behind him, and a circuit where passing was difficult. Alonso had track position, a Renault R25 to protect, and no margin for error. For lap after lap, he placed the car exactly where it needed to be. Alonso crossed the line just 0.215 seconds ahead of Schumacher. After the later BAR-Honda disqualifications, Alexander Wurz was classified third for McLaren Mercedes. Imola 2005 remains a clean piece of Formula 1 memory: pressure, restraint, and two drivers at different points of their stories meeting at the edge of a changing era. Machismo! We spoke with former World Drivers' Champion Nigel Mansell after the regulation refinements were announced and he shared his views. Here's a summary of what he said: It's fabulous that everyone's talking and this is a massive change "I think the fabulous thing is that everyone's talking. It's been a massive change in regulations, both with the car and the engine. I think there's going to be improvements with the harvesting of power. Hopefully, they won't be slowing down too much into some of the corners now.” "I think it is so vitally important for the drivers to be able to drive the cars to the maximum, as opposed to having a computer telling them when they can brake or can't brake. Fernando Alonso made us all laugh by saying that his chef could drive the car better than he could at the moment.” "We have to get back to normality. Formula One is the grand stallion of all racing worldwide and we mustn't lose sight of that. And as technology gathers pace, they can do these other tweaks to do 50/50 later but they just need to give more power to the cars at the moment to go racing.” I'd like to see more power to the elbows of the drivers "In engineering terms, if it's not broken, you don't try to fix it. People don't understand that there's major changes which have been in place for some time. It takes a lot of time for all the teams and manufacturers to put it all together.”   "So the complexity of the rules is enormous and if you don't get it right, along with the combination of the power units, harvesting of electrical power, and so on and so forth. It's a minefield.”   "Drivers can fall foul of so many regulations and yet it's the computers doing it all. I'd just like to see more power to the elbow of the drivers, as opposed to computers doing it.”   "Going back to the 70s and 80s, 90+ percent of the engines were Cosworth DFV. Everyone had the same engines pretty much and we had fantastic racing. You knew the cars, the drivers, the tyres, the mechanics and the engineers made a huge difference.”   "Yes we're in the computer age but racing should be as stable as it can be, for everyone to be able to catch up to compete. Everyone's mooting it would be great to have the V10s back for the noise. If you're a purist, the answer is yes. Everybody makes their own V10 and it'll sound fantastic because it's the pinnacle of motorsport.” Challenge for F1 is to balance technological advancement and "racing" "I have tremendous sympathy, and support the drivers one hundred percent with what they're saying. They need to be listened to. They've got a job to do and they do a fantastic job, all of them.”   "It's all well and good, coming up with new ideas and regulations. All I'd say to the powers that be is that they've done a fantastic job but they have to work and they have to be able to be implemented safely and properly.”   "When they've tweaked it enough that it works, it's fantastic. But until it does work properly for everybody, we need to keep tweaking it, I think urgently now so that we get the show on the road.”   "As long as it doesn't carry on for much longer they'll be fine. They're all doing a great job. What the manufacturers have done, the FIA, the governing body and Liberty Media themselves.”   "They mustn't lose sight of the fact that the cars need to race properly. It has some growing pains but it has been the most difficult start of any year because they've had three races and then this month or so off. And now we've got Miami so I think everyone's excited about that at the end of next week as we can get racing again.” Mercedes still have the advantage despite regulation refinements "If you're Mercedes you must be incredibly frustrated because you could have gotten a big lead in the championship.”   "The people who are struggling, they'd go 'oh, thank you!'. They get a bit more time to sort things out and get ready for the next race.”   "It's on both ends of the spectrum. Some people are going to feel very comfortable with it and some will feel frustrated. It's racing anyway. There's always something going on.”   "I don't think so (Mercedes and Toto Wolff being disappointed) because we haven't had a proper race yet, if you're a purist. Mercedes have done such a fantastic job, they'll have an advantage all through the year. Their engine is better than anybody else's.”   "We're talking purely here about harvesting power and drivers being able to race the cars on the track and at every corner as much as they can. So it's a different thing altogether".   "I still think Mercedes will have an advantage all through the year but it's a big development. It's a big development with the cars, with the engines. A month is a very long time and we could see a lot of changes in Miami. Once we get racing properly, everything can stay stable again. It's just that everybody is not racing properly at the moment".   These regulation refinements make Miami GP the first pivotal race of the season   "I hope everything settles down and we have a great race in Miami.”   "I think Miami, because the focus is on it, could be one of the pivotal races this year with all the new tweaks. I think Miami's got hype because obviously without going into the negativity of what's happening in the war, with this month off, everybody's hungry to go racing again. So Miami's going to be under the microscope, and I think it's going to be a fantastic race down there.”   "Well, I'll let you know firsthand I'm gonna be there this year for one of the days, so I'm gonna go and have a look. This is my first time in Miami. I haven't been there but Miami is a great spectacle. I think every year when any race returns, there's improvements.”   "I'm very optimistic that Miami will be a much better presentation.” Stovebolt Special Returns to Pebble Beach Decades after Historic Run in Last Road Race   PEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA (April 22, 2026) — At the drop of the green flag, in what was to be the very last road race at Pebble Beach although no one knew that then, two-time past winner Bill Pollack jumped into the lead in a much-modified car that would come to be known as the “Stovebolt Special”—a 1950 HWM fitted with experimental disc brakes and the very first Chevy V8 to be used in road racing. The date was April 22, 1956. For a brief time, the car led the Ferraris of Phil Hill, Carroll Shelby, and Ernie McAfee as well as every other car in the race. It was powered to win—and might have done so but for the many tight corners of the tree-lined course, which the just-completed special struggled to navigate since its handling was not yet dialed in. Ultimately it finished sixth overall—a fine achievement in a field comprising the top sports racing cars and drivers of the day.  Although the Stovebolt Special now resides in England with renowned auto journalist and current owner Simon Taylor, it will return to Pebble Beach this August for the 75th celebration of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, an event that began in tandem with the Pebble Beach Road Races in 1950.  The HWM had already lived a long and storied life when it raced at Pebble Beach. In original form, as a works race car bearing a four-cylinder two-liter Alta engine, it served as the steed for Stirling Moss in his first paid competition. He raced the car for HWM throughout much of the 1950 season, recording several fine results including a third-place finish behind the Alfas of Giuseppe Farina and Juan Manuel Fangio in the Bari Grand Prix. With Johnny Claes at the wheel, the HWM won the Grand Prix des Frontieres. It was also driven by Rudi Fischer and Raymond Sommer.  A few years later, the car was sold to 20th Century Fox to be used in the film “The Racers,” starring Kirk Douglas—and was crashed in accord with the script.  It was Tom Carstens who bought the wreck and resurrected it for Pebble Beach, not simply rebuilding it, but doing all that he could to improve the chassis, transmission, and body. The new Chevy V8 engine was bored and stroked to just under five liters by Bobby Meeks at Vic Edelbrock's shop and then was fitted in the car by Eddie Kuzma, who managed that task by repositioning the firewall and fabricating new rear bodywork. Ted Halibrand's shop added a quick-change rear axle and the disc brakes.  The finished creation was called the Stovebolt Special by “Sports Cars Illustrated” magazine—and the name stuck. The return of the Stovebolt Special to Pebble Beach is made possible thanks to Simon Taylor as well as the American Hot Rod Foundation (ahrf.com), particularly founder Steve Memishian and foundation manager David Steele.The “Stovebolt Special” among several race cars in competition at the very last road race through the tree-lined course in Pebble Beach. Photo Credit: Julian P. Graham / Pebble Beach Company Lagorio ArchivesThe 75th Concours will pay tribute to its historic ties in racing as well as the many “first-ever” gatherings of cars that have made it famous. The former road racers will be showcased in two special classes, one focusing on cars that raced in close-to-original form as made by their manufacturers and the other focusing on specials that were much modified. The event will also feature cars ranging from early American Speedsters to Ferraris and Japanese race cars, and the latest new creations and dream cars will be displayed on the Concept Lawn.  ZHENRUI CHI JOINS THE ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO FORMULA ONE™ TEAM DRIVER ACADEMY 22 April 2026, AMRTC, Silverstone, UK: The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team is pleased to announce that Zhenrui Chi has joined its Driver Academy.

The programme includes racecraft mentorship from experienced team personnel both trackside and at the AMR Technology Campus, physical conditioning, and a dedicated media and communications training to prepare him for the demands of professional motorsport. Zhenrui Chi, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team Driver Academy: “Joining the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team family is a huge honour for me. It's a great responsibility, but also an incredible opportunity and motivation to keep pushing myself to the next level. Knowing that I have the support of such an iconic team, with all its experience and expertise, gives me a lot of confidence for the journey ahead. I know the road will require hard work and dedication, and I'm fully aware that I have to continue to prove I deserve this opportunity. I'm ready to give everything I have and I can't wait to start this journey with Aston Martin Aramco.” Nuno Pinto, Racing Director, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team Driver Academy: “Zhenrui is exactly the kind of talent our Academy exists to find. We first saw him at an evaluation test in Mugello and were immediately impressed by his ability and approach. We then followed his progress through the rest of the 2025 season, where he showed not only pace but also strong consistency in one of the most competitive junior categories in racing, Italian F4. We are delighted to welcome him to the Academy and to support his development through our programme at Silverstone. With the resources of the AMR Technology Campus and the environment we have built around our drivers, we believe we can help him to continue to grow. This is a long-term partnership, and we are looking forward to the journey ahead together.”

La Fórmula 1 ha movido ficha. Tras el fuerte debate generado por el Gran Premio de Japón, la categoría ha decidido introducir una serie de ajustes técnicos que se aplicarán ya en Miami, en un intento por corregir los problemas detectados en las últimas carreras. Y en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 se analizan a fondo estos cambios. No será una revolución. No se trata de una revolución, pero sí de una reacción clara. Equipos, FIA y Liberty Media han trabajado conjuntamente para implementar cambios que buscan mejorar tres aspectos clave: la comprensión del espectáculo, la consistencia del rendimiento y, sobre todo, la seguridad. Uno de los focos principales ha sido la gestión energética, en el centro de la polémica en las últimas semanas. La reducción de la recarga máxima permitida (de 8 MJ a 7 MJ) pretende limitar la acumulación excesiva de energía y favorecer una conducción más constante. En paralelo, el aumento de la potencia de recarga del sistema hasta los 350 kW busca reducir el tiempo en el que los pilotos deben gestionar ese proceso. El objetivo es claro: acortar el impacto del llamado “superclipping”, uno de los elementos más criticados por pilotos y aficionados, reduciendo su duración a apenas unos segundos por vuelta. Lo que veremos en carrera. En carrera, las medidas apuntan a limitar las diferencias bruscas de rendimiento. El uso del “boost” energético se restringe ahora a un máximo de +150 kW, mientras que el despliegue del MGU-K se mantiene en 350 kW en zonas clave (como salidas de curva o adelantamientos) pero se reduce a 250 kW en el resto del trazado. Una forma de suavizar los picos de velocidad que habían generado situaciones difíciles de interpretar… y peligrosas. La seguridad por encima de todo. Precisamente la seguridad ha sido otro de los ejes de actuación. La FIA ha desarrollado un sistema capaz de detectar coches con aceleración anómala en la salida, activando automáticamente el MGU-K para evitar situaciones de riesgo. Además, se incorporan señales luminosas específicas para alertar a los pilotos que circulan detrás, mejorando la capacidad de reacción en momentos críticos. También se han introducido ajustes en condiciones de lluvia. El aumento de la temperatura de las mantas térmicas para los neumáticos intermedios busca mejorar el agarre inicial, mientras que la reducción del despliegue del ERS pretende ofrecer un mayor control del coche en situaciones de baja adherencia. En conjunto, las medidas intentan devolver cierta coherencia a una Fórmula 1 que había entrado en una espiral de difícil interpretación. Sin embargo, la gran incógnita sigue siendo la misma: ¿serán suficientes estos cambios? Miami, una prueba que tradicionalmente no ha generado demasiado entusiasmo, se convierte ahora en un escenario clave. Más que una carrera, será un test real para evaluar si la F1 ha sido capaz de corregir el rumbo a tiempo. Porque el problema ya no es solo técnico. Es de confianza.

Se ha celebrado la reunión y se han tomado ciertas medidas. Mismas que entraran en vigor a partir de la siguiente carrera el GP de Miami. En resumen, se disminuirá la energía eléctrica para que los efectos como el clipping y el super clipping, no deban ser usados como a inicios de la temporada.

Most of us think of Formula One as just lightning-fast cars and daring drivers. But behind the scenes, the real game is being played by fire-breathing bodies called the FIA and Liberty Media. And trust me, it's messier than you'd imagine—think politics, profits, paddock drama, and the kind of rulemaking that could make Congress blush. In this episode, Soumil and Kunal peel back the curtain on how F1's governing chaos actually shapes your favorite races. From secret negotiations with teams to the tricky job of balancing safety, speed, and spectacle—the FIA isn't just the sport's nanny; they're the glue holding everything together (mostly). They explain why F1 is in flux, how the sport's technology is evolving faster than your favorite driver changing helmets, and what really needs fixing before F1 hits another record-breaking season. You'll discover: - Why the FIA is more than just a “police force,” running programs from rally to road safety, even advising the UN - The real reason F1 cars are now safer, but sometimes less thrilling - How the sport's stakeholders—manufacturers, teams, drivers—play politics to shape the future - What a 2026 racing world might look like—more raceable, more exciting, or just more complicated? - And why the FIA's secret weapon might be better marketing than you'd think If you're a F1 fanatic craving a behind-the-scenes scoop, or a casual fan wondering what the heck is going on in the paddock, this episode is your pit-stop for clarity and chaos. We're talking about the big-picture struggles and what they mean for your weekends at the track. With insights from insiders and a dash of humor, Soumil and Kunal give you the blueprint for understanding how the sport runs behind the roaring engines. Because if F1's a drama, the FIA is the unsung hero trying to keep the whole circus from collapsing—most of the time, at least. Buckle up—it's more than just racing. It's politics, progress, and a whole lot of speed bumps on the road to racing's future.

F1 built the WRONG future and nobody will admit itClimb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a shocking interview, FOM and F1 commercial boss Stefano Domenicali went on a crusade AGAINST Formula 1's critics; calling the sport's 2026 season so far a success...whilst also passing the buck onto the Formula One engine manufacturers. In an elegant fashion, the Liberty Media rep framed the entire situation as good for new fans...and cared little for older fans. Views are up in some areas, down in others. All said in a rather aggressive and determined way. Is he right...or out of touch?

With the cancellation of the Middle Eastern leg creating an unnatural five-week "Spring Break," the guys dive into the massive financial and on-track fallout currently threatening the sport.We discuss the terrifying "battery craziness" caused by the new regulations, which has led to extreme speed differentials of up to 60 km/h and incredibly dangerous near-misses for drivers like Ollie Bearman through Suzuka's legendary 130R. We also unpack the brutal financial reality: Liberty Media's sudden $1.92 billion market value drop, the massive ROI losses for mega-sponsors like Aramco and Qatar Airways, and the headache for Apple TV after losing three contracted races. Plus, we look at the rising driver frustration, highlighted by Fernando Alonso's savage claim that "the team chef could drive these cars," as drivers begin to push back against the sport's management.In This Episode:The Unplanned Spring Break: How the Middle East cancellations have forced an awkward 30-day pause in the calendar.The $1.9B Financial Hit: Breaking down Liberty Media's 7% stock plunge and the massive losses for global sponsors like Aramco and Qatar Airways.On-Track Danger: The severe battery clipping issues, dangerous speed differentials, and why the FIA is hiding the in-car footage from 130R.Driver Pushback: Fernando Alonso's brutal quotes and the shifting dynamic between F1 leadership and "employee" drivers fighting for better conditions.Future Engine Regs: Why F1 is stuck with these engines until 2030/2031 and what it means for Mercedes' dominance.Tags & Global SEO Hashtags: #F1 #Formula1 #Motorsport #LibertyMedia #FernandoAlonso #OllieBearman #F12026 #FIA #Aramco #QatarAirways #F1News #F1Podcast #AutoRacing #FormulaOne #Suzuka130RSupport the show

It's more than just the car...or even the FIA for Max Verstappen.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe biggest mystery in F1 right now is the real motive as to why Max Verstappen feels weary with these Formula 1 regulations for 2026. Sure, his Red Bull RB22 isn't performing well AND he's made his feelings clear about the Formula One ruleset. For years now! However, instead of relying on pressuring in the way he's been doing up until now, the best way to insist drivers are listened to is to perhaps...not play the game?Today, I wanna discuss the idea that Max has changed tack on his feelings on the rules. That he doesn't feel comfortable or willing to hype up a series which he doesn't enjoy or believe in. How does Liberty Media and FOM respond to THAT?#f1 #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #fia #fiaf1 #fom #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #redbullracing #f1cars #f1teams #f1regulations #stefanodomenicali #f1drama #f1car #redbull #verstappen Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff Max Verstappen won't hype this version of F1https://youtu.be/gS-orpr0WHA Hosted on Acast.

It's the second race of the season, and MotoGP is back in Brazil. It's been absolute ages since we've last been to the Autodromo Internacional de Goiania, so how has it faired? Well, they say love starts with first impressions - and Goiana definitely delivered. She's short, she's wet (especially after the rain), she's wild...and she's got a sinkhole that's ready to mingle! To quote Mat: "At least it gives you an interesting memory."(Cue the Liberty Media exec's kicking their TVs: "Four billion pounds...for this?!")In other news: Aprilia continues to impress, while KTM and Honda are scrambling to not start the season with too much of a stumble. And then there's Marc Marquez, whose fight with Fabio Di Giannantonio ended with both riders overtaken by Jorge Martin. Was this a normal error on Marquez' part? A nasty consequence of that infamous injury? Or is everybody's favourite alien...becoming suddenly human?Marc, for his part, blames the asphalt.And then we've got to talk about Bezzecchi, taking home the second win in a row, and so much more.

MotoGP has hundreds of millions of die hard fans, has an excellent commercial model, some of the most talented sportspeople in the business, and now Liberty Media, the owners of F1, have arrived to try and bring a true global business to this already powerful sporting property. This is an awesome conversation looking into one of the great sports that you may not know much about. Carlos Ezpeleta is the man at the helm looking to front this change while ensuring the sport doesn't lose its identity and the core fans which have driven its growth. In a world of sporting plenty, I think this is one of the most exciting areas in the industry. I'm excited for you to hear it.

Il mercato piloti per il 2027 è già stato definito, almeno per un buon 70% dei posti in griglia. Ma perché ancora non è stato fatto nessun annuncio, tranne quello relativo al matrimonio tra Marco Bezzecchi ed Aprilia? La ragione è molto semplice ed è legata al braccio di ferro che continua ad esserci tra Costruttori impegnati in pista e MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group (ovvero Dorna e Liberty Media).Sul piatto c'è un bottino da dividere relativo alla ripartizione degli introiti derivanti dalla vendita dei diritti TV ed ovviamente una serie di altre voci, con le Case intenzionate ad ottenere una fetta molto più grande rispetto al passato di questa torta farcita di soldi. La firma ancora non c'è, ma ovviamente trovare un accordo conviene a tutti, anche perché stanno iniziando a girare in pista i prototipi 850 con le gomme Pirelli, quindi è palese che si ratti semplicemente di una pasrtita a poker davanti ad un piatto ricchissimo con due giocatori seduti al tavolo che non sono disposti a mollare. Di questo si parla nel sabato di un fine settimana senza Gran Premi ma che apre a quello del Brasile di fine della prossima settimana, quando il motomondiale tornerà a Goiania.E a proposito del primo GP in quella località GPOne ricorda quel primo GP in una città nella quale era appena accaduto un...disastro nucleare! Leggetelo qui.

Episode 418 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Jeff Glass, Co-Founder & CEO of Hometap. Jeff's track record is pretty amazing, yet he is incredibly humble. As both an entrepreneur and an investor, he has…in my opinion… earned a spot as one of the top builders in the Boston tech ecosystem. While success always requires the right market timing and a great team, you also need a leader who truly thrives in the full lifecycle journey of building a startup and that is exactly what Jeff has done throughout his career. Listen to this track record. Back in the Internet 1.0 era, he co-founded Transactive Solutions. This tech company included a web property called Zooba which scaled and had very forward looking technology. The company was acquired by a joint venture between Bertelsmann and AOL Time Warner. Then, in the early days of mobile, he led m-Qube through each company phase from figuring out product market fit to the hypergrowth years and eventually an acquisition by VeriSign. Beyond the exit, m-Qube is legendary for its "alumni network," having produced a generation of founders and executives who have gone on to build many successful companies in Boston and beyond. Jeff also spent years as a VC with Bain Capital Ventures, where he sat on the board of LinkedIn for three years leading up to their IPO. He later joined a portfolio company as the CEO of Skyhook Wireless which was acquired by Liberty Media. Today, Jeff is the CEO and Co-Founder of Hometap which has a very meaningful mission: making homeownership less stressful and more accessible. Hometap allows consumers to access the equity in their homes without taking on a loan or sell their home. Think of it like a startup, where an investor is taking equity as a percentage of ownership in a company for a future return. The same idea applies here for consumers and their home. It's just one of those ideas that makes a world of sense.

Las WAGS llegaron para quedarse… y el paddock ya no se entiende sin ellas.En este episodio de Más Allá del Paddock, Pia Ramos nos cuenta cómo el término que explotó en 2006 con Victoria Beckham evolucionó hasta convertirse en una potencia mediática dentro de la Formula 1.Desde los días elegantes de Helen Stewart junto a Jackie Stewart, hasta la era moderna impulsada por Liberty Media y el fenómeno de Drive to Survive, las WAGS pasaron de ser acompañantes a protagonistas.Hoy hablamos de atletas, ingenieras, empresarias e influencers como Kelly Piquet, Alexandra Saint Mleux y más, mujeres que no viven de la fama del piloto… la multiplican.Glamour, negocio, poder e identidad propia.Esto es Formula 1… más allá del paddock.

Les pilotes les plus rapides du monde reviennent ce week-end, avec la reprise de la Formule 1 et le Grand Prix d'Australie ce dimanche 8 mars. Pour la 33ᵉ saison consécutive, les monoplaces de la catégorie reine du sport automobile ne rouleront pas sur le continent africain. Une absence qui s'explique par de nombreux facteurs.  14 mars 1993, sur le circuit de Kyalami, en banlieue de Johannesburg : le Français Alain Prost, au volant de sa Williams, devance le Brésilien Ayrton Senna et s'impose au terme des 72 tours du Grand Prix d'Afrique du Sud. Depuis cette date, la Formule 1 ne s'est plus jamais rendue en Afrique, au grand dam de certains pilotes, à commencer par Lewis Hamilton. Ces dernières années, le septuple champion du monde n'a pas caché son envie d'aller en Afrique, multipliant les prises de parole et pressant même les organes de la Formule 1 d'accélérer les discussions. Ce jeudi 5 mars, il s'est à nouveau exprimé, assurant « ne pas vouloir quitter le sport sans avoir eu un Grand Prix » africain. Dans le paddock, ces dernières années, des rumeurs ont d'ailleurs entrouvert la possibilité d'un retour.   Plusieurs projets en Afrique du Sud, au Rwanda ou au Maroc Il y a d'abord eu le candidat naturel : l'Afrique du Sud et son circuit de Kyamali. « Ils parlent d'un retour de la F1 depuis 2017 », glisse Gaël Angleviel, journaliste spécialisé en sports mécaniques. « Le circuit n'est pas du tout à l'abandon, il accueille d'ailleurs d'autres compétitions. Warren Scheckter, le neveu du champion du monde sud-africain Jody Scheckter, s'était d'ailleurs positionné pour essayer de faire revenir la F1 à Kyalami. » Après 6 ans de négociations, en 2023, le projet est tombé à l'eau. « Le promoteur a été un petit peu trop gourmand aux yeux de la Fédération internationale de l'automobile (FIA) », raconte Gaël Angleviel.   Fin 2024, le Rwanda avait lui aussi des velléités d'accueillir la Formule 1. Son président Paul Kagame a même officiellement déposé la candidature de son pays, lorsqu'il a reçu le gala de la FIA et sa traditionnelle remise de prix. « Mais on en est vraiment au stade du balbutiement », explique Gaël Angleviel. « Les autorités ont défini l'emplacement, qui devrait être proche du futur aéroport de Bugesera. Mais on attend encore un promoteur et un projet financier solides. » Autre rumeur, celle d'un Grand Prix du Maroc. Le Royaume a déjà accueilli une épreuve du championnat, à Casablanca, en 1958. Cette fois, c'est à Tanger qu'un projet se dessine, porté par le Français Éric Boullier, un temps à la tête de l'écurie Lotus. Mais, là encore, aucune négociation concrète n'a été entamée.   À lire aussiLe Rwanda se porte officiellement candidat à l'organisation d'un Grand Prix de Formule 1 sur son sol « Jusqu'à 700 millions de dollars hors circuit. » Si les projets mettent autant de temps à se développer, c'est que les discussions avec la FIA sont très longues. « Il faut d'abord qu'un promoteur privé acquière un terrain », explique Marc Limacher, spécialiste de l'économie de la Formule 1 et auteur chaque année du Business Book GP. « Ensuite, ce promoteur entame des discussions avec les détenteurs de la F1, le groupe Liberty Media, et dépose un dossier, en mettant sur la table un dépôt qui tourne autour des 5 millions de dollars. » Vient ensuite la deuxième phase, celle des travaux, puisque pour accueillir les monoplaces les plus rapides du monde, un circuit doit être homologué « grade 1 » et répondre à des normes de sécurité très strictes. C'est seulement une fois cette homologation acquise que les négociations formelles peuvent débuter entre Liberty Media, la FIA et le promoteur du circuit. « Ça coûte extrêmement cher d'organiser tous les ans un Grand Prix de Formule 1 », explique Marc Limacher. « Ce sont des contrats entre 5 et 7 ans qui peuvent monter jusqu'à 700 millions de dollars hors circuit. » Lors des négociations, de nombreux paramètres entrent en compte : infrastructures, accessibilité, retombées économiques... Ainsi, les instances dirigeantes demandent une garantie de l'État systématique. « Tous les circuits du calendrier ont actuellement une garantie étatique en cas de défaillance », souligne Marc Limacher.   L'absence de cette garantie explique, en partie, que la Formule 1 ne se rende pas en Afrique. Mais c'est loin d'être le seul facteur. Il y a aussi la concurrence internationale féroce, avec « énormément de pays qui veulent accueillir la F1 », estime Gaël Angleviel. « Or le calendrier est déjà très chargé, avec déjà 24 dates à l'année. Et si on commence à empiler les courses tous les week-ends, on risque de lasser le public. » Les pays du Golfe et les États-Unis sont très convoités par Liberty Media. Face à eux, le continent africain pâtit d'une « instabilité économique », juge Marc Limacher. « La F1 est une entreprise cotée en Bourse. Et on a vu par exemple que lorsque les projets du continent africain ont été annoncés, ils n'ont pas eu un impact positif sur la Bourse de New York. »  Manque d'infrastructures et absence de pilote africain Autre facteur, l'absence d'infrastructures suffisantes pour accueillir les courses. « Il ne faut pas oublier qu'un Grand Prix, ce sont des centaines de milliers de personnes qui se déplacent. Il y a les spectateurs, les sponsors, les invités, sans oublier les équipes de F1 », énumère Marc Limacher. Autant de personnes sur quelques jours, cela implique d'avoir une industrie hôtelière robuste, des infrastructures routières adaptées, des transports en commun ainsi qu'un aéroport qui puisse accueillir un flux important de passagers et de fret. Même si les instances dirigeantes de la Formule 1 ont maintes fois répété leur envie de se rendre en Afrique, et malgré les prises de parole engagées de Lewis Hamilton, depuis 10 ans, les lignes n'ont pas vraiment bougé. D'autant qu'actuellement, il n'y a aucun pilote africain sur la grille. « Cela pourrait accélérer la volonté politique d'accueillir la F1 », assure Gaël Angleviel. « Mais si l'on regarde le cas de la France par exemple, il y a actuellement trois pilotes français sur la ligne de départ. Et aucun Grand Prix de France. » Lewis Hamilton participera-t-il à une course sur le continent africain avant de prendre sa retraite, comme il l'espère ? À 41 ans, le septuple champion du monde, déjà sur la grille depuis 20 ans, risque plutôt d'y assister en tant que spectateur. Car « les contrats actuels sont tous verrouillés », explique Marc Limacher. « Dans tous les cas, on ne verra pas de Grand Prix en Afrique avant au moins 2035. » À écouter dans Mondial sportsF1 : Lewis Hamilton, début de l'an 2 à Ferrari !

Formula 1 is three competitions in one: a 200mph battle of the world's best race car drivers, the world cup of engineering where thousand-person teams spend hundreds of millions designing cars from scratch, and — as one of our listeners perfectly put it — the “Real Housewives of the Garage”, a soap opera of billionaire egos, team politics, and paddock drama that makes for incredible reality television. It's also the world's most popular annual sporting series with over 827 million fans globally — a fact that would shock most Americans, who until a recent viral Netflix series had barely heard of it.Today we tell the story of how a chaotic, deadly, and gloriously dysfunctional European racing series became one of the greatest business stories in sports. For decades, brilliant engineers and daredevil drivers dedicated their lives (and too often lost them) to a league controlled for 45 years by a single man: a former London car dealer named Bernie Ecclestone, who centralized power and extracted billions, while also undeniably single-handedly making the sport successful. Then, in a move no one saw coming, the American company Liberty Media bought the whole thing in 2017, installed a team of Fox Sports and ESPN veterans, and did what Bernie never would — professionalized it. All of a sudden famously money-losing F1 teams turned into real businesses, with the average team valuation today clocking in at an astounding $3.6 billion.

La penalizzazione inflitta a Marc Marquez per il sorpasso all'ultimo giro su Acosta ha acceso le polemiche ma trova tutti, piloti e manager, d'accordo. Non si può penalizzare un sorpasso deciso, ma nel quale i piloti si sono solo sfiorati e Marc non è uscito dalla pista.Lo stesso Acosta che lo ha subito ha confessato che a ruoli inversi avrebbe fatto lo stesso.E' questa la nuova MotoGP che vuole Liberty Media?Nel contempo nessuna penalizzazione per Alex Marquez che nelle primissime battute ha portato fuori Di Giannantonio, non intenzionalmente ovviamente, ma rovinandogli comunque la gara.E' l'argomento di conversazione di Paolo, Carlo e Matteo in una live piena di commenti.Si parla anche dell'errore di Bezzecchi ovviamente, e della gara spenta di Bagnaia.

HR3 - Kaden Elliss may end up being Falcons cap casualty along with Tyler Allgeier In hour three Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, react to Atlanta Falcons General Manager Ian Cunningham being non-committal on free-agent linebacker Kaden Elliss in his scrum with the local media at the NFL Combine yesterday when asked if Elliss is a guy Atlanta wants back, and explain why they would hate to lose Elliss and want him back, but think the Falcons can find a cheaper option and better system fit at linebacker than Kaden Elliss. Then, Mike, Beau, and Ali react to Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves agreeing on a one-year, $27 million-dollar contract extension that includes a club option, talk about how the Braves still need to sign another starting pitcher, explain why they think the Braves haven't made moves this offseason like a team that feels like they're World Series contenders, discuss if the Braves' new in-house TV Network BravesVision could ultimately make Liberty Media give Braves General Manager Alex Anthopoulos more money to spend on their own players and free agents, recap and react to the Atlanta Hawks' 119-98 win over the Washington Wizards last night, react to last night being the first time former Hawks All-Star Trae Young has been back in Atlanta since being traded to the Wizards last month, talk about the tribute video the Hawks played for Trae and how it made them feel, discuss Jonathan Kuminga making his Hawks debut last night since be trading to the team as part of the Kristaps Porziņģis trade, let you hear Hawks Head Coach Quin Snyder talk about how Kuminga showed the things he's been coaching, react to what Coach Snyder had to say, explain why they think Kuminga's Hawks debut was great and now consistency is the next big step, and then close out hour three by answering people's questions about anything in the Morning Mailbag!

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves agreeing on a one-year, $27 million-dollar contract extension that includes a club option, talk about how the Braves still need to sign another starting pitcher, explain why they think the Braves haven't made moves this offseason like a team that feels like they're World Series contenders, and discuss if the Braves' new in-house TV Network BravesVision could ultimately make Liberty Media give Braves General Manager Alex Anthopoulos more money to spend on their own players and free agents.

Since the last South African Grand Prix was raced at Kyalami in 1993, the country has made several attempts to bring Formula One back. The circuit has been upgraded to FIA Grade 2 standards, and various promoters, including the Kyalami owners and international partners, have tried to secure a deal with Formula One Management. Most recently, Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie conceded that the 2027 race “will not take place now,” but said government remained committed to landing a future Grand Prix. Anton Roux, a former member of motorsport's governing body, the FIA Senate, and a trustee of the FIA Foundation, says South Africa's real obstacles lie elsewhere, in strained ties with Washington and a lack of political commitment at home. Roux told BizNews that South Africa has not done the diplomatic groundwork needed to convince Liberty Media, the American company that owns Formula One. His advice to the sports minister was blunt: start by backing, and showing up at, the international motorsport events South Africa already hosts, to prove the country can deliver an event that other African nations, like Rwanda, are now openly keen to host. But first, the interview dives into a question many motorheads are asking: Why are electric vehicles so ugly? Is Italian design the answer?

MotoGP is experiencing one of the strongest growth periods in its 77-year history—and the future may be even bigger.In this Race Industry Week by EPARTRADE interview, Alfonso Cartujo, Sporting Director of Dorna Sports, delivers a deep dive into the current state of MotoGP, its record-setting 2025 season, and the bold strategic, technical, and commercial moves shaping the championship's next era.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to the Atlanta Braves statement on the news about the uncertainty around the Main Street Sports Group, which operates the FanDuel Sports Network group of regional sports networks (RSN), and the Braves and eight other MLB teams cutting ties with Main Street. Mike, Beau, and Ali also react to an article that said the Braves, are expected to launch their own network, perhaps to air on a national streaming platform such as Amazon or Apple or with a template similar to the Rangers Sports Network -- which has direct-to-distributor deals with cable and satellite providers, a local over-the-air partner and a streaming outlet in Victory+. The Morning Shift crew also explains why they think the Braves getting their own network may result in the Braves ownership group, Liberty Media, allowing the Braves and General Manager Alex Anthopoulos to spend more when it comes to getting players in free agency and resigning players as well.

HR1 - Ian Cunningham must have good draft strategy & also react well to other moves In hour one Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, talk about what they want to hear and expect to hear from Atlanta Falcons new General Manager Ian Cunningham in his introductory press conference today, talk explain why they think the Falcons new GM will win his introductory press conference later on this morning as long as his answers are confident and concise, talk about how there are nine confirmed NFL international games next season, explain why all signs point to the Atlanta Falcons playing in Germany again next season, react to the NFL informing clubs late last week that it is projecting a salary cap in the range of $301.2 million to $305.7 million for the upcoming 2026 season, discuss whether or not the Falcons should use the extra salary cap space to bring back tight end Kyle Pitts, react to the Atlanta Braves statement on the news about the uncertainty around the Main Street Sports Group, which operates the FanDuel Sports Network group of regional sports networks (RSN), and the Braves and eight other MLB teams cutting ties with Main Street, react to an article that said the Braves, are expected to launch their own network, perhaps to air on a national streaming platform such as Amazon or Apple or with a template similar to the Rangers Sports Network -- which has direct-to-distributor deals with cable and satellite providers, a local over-the-air partner and a streaming outlet in Victory+, explain why they think the Braves getting their own network may result in the Braves ownership group, Liberty Media, allowing the Braves and General Manager Alex Anthopoulos to spend more when it comes to getting players in free agency and resigning players as well, and then close out hour one by diving into the life of Ali Mac in Ali's Mac Drop!

Las 7 semanas desde que Norris se coronó Campeón se nos han hecho largas. Pero, afortunadamente, la pretemporada de Fórmula 1 ya está en marcha. Y, aunque lo hace envuelta en un clima de opacidad que está generando frustración entre aficionados y expertos, el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 va a usar todo lo que conoce para mantenernos informados y al día. La verdad, al desnudo. A pocas semanas del inicio del campeonato y con una nueva reglamentación técnica sobre la mesa, los equipos están mostrando sus cartas con cuentagotas. Y, además, la propia F1, bajo la gestión de Liberty Media, mantiene una política informativa extremadamente restrictiva. Vamos, que sólo ellos quieren sacar tajada… que tengan cuidado no maten a la gallina de los huevos de oro. Sea como fuere, algunos equipos ya han comenzado a evidenciar problemas de planificación. Williams, por ejemplo, se ha perdido por completo la pretemporada en Barcelona y ni siquiera presentará su monoplaza de forma física, optando por un lanzamiento virtual. McLaren, por su parte, ha llegado tarde al inicio de los test, aunque finalmente ha conseguido poner su coche en pista. Aston Martin tampoco ha tenido un arranque ideal y ya ha perdido una jornada de pruebas, alimentando las dudas sobre su preparación real de cara al inicio del año. Más incógnitas que certezas. A esta situación se suma la polémica gestión televisiva de los tests de Baréin, donde solo se emitirá una hora diaria de los segundos entrenamientos oficiales. Una decisión difícil de entender en un momento en el que el interés por la nueva temporada es máximo y en el que la transparencia ayudaría a contextualizar mejor el rendimiento real de cada equipo. Por otra parte, en la pista, los nuevos monoplazas ya han dejado algunas pinceladas interesantes, aunque resulta complicado sacar conclusiones firmes. Las estrategias de ocultación (también por parte de los equipos) están siendo evidentes: cargas de combustible desconocidas, mapas de motor conservadores y programas de rodaje diseñados más para despistar que para mostrar el verdadero potencial. Muestra evidente del miedo a que las decisiones tomadas para poner en pista un coche adaptado a esta nueva reglamentación no hayan sido las mejores. Aun así, algunos coches han llamado especialmente la atención por su comportamiento general y por su fiabilidad. El titular: Fiabilidad. Y es precisamente la fiabilidad uno de los grandes titulares inesperados de esta pretemporada. Contra todo pronóstico, los motores están mostrando una solidez notable desde los primeros kilómetros, algo poco habitual en un contexto de cambios técnicos. Mercedes lidera el número de vueltas completadas, seguida por Red Bull y Haas, lo que refuerza la sensación de que, al menos en términos mecánicos, los equipos han hecho bien los deberes. Lamentablemente, la pretemporada avanza con más incógnitas que certezas. La falta de información oficial, las ausencias en pista y el hermetismo generalizado contrastan sobremanera con el enorme interés que despierta el nuevo curso (nueva temporada y nueva reglamentación, el cóctel perfecto). Y, visto lo visto con las decisiones respecto de los tests, habrá que esperar a los primeros Grandes Premios para descubrir qué hay realmente detrás de esta intensa partida de póker técnico (y aerodinámico).

As a holiday present to our listeners we bring back one of our fan favorite episodes. McLaren Racing Chief Executive Officer Zak Brown joins Hannah Elliott and Matt Miller to discuss McLaren's ascendance this season in Formula 1, why Indy Car could use some tips from Liberty Media to help it expand. Plus, Brown suggests the Monaco Grand Prix could go away and F1 would be just fine without it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1, que está también dedicado a repasar lo que ha sido la temporada 2025 en el Gran Circo, toca analizar, un poco más en profundidad, el nivel de la competición en un año de transición, con grandes diferencias entre pilotos y equipos. Una lucha hasta el final. Y es que, dado que en 2026 las normas cambian radicalmente, el enfoque de los equipos de cara a la temporada 2025 ha sido también radicalmente distinto. Hay equipos que han decidido no evolucionar el coche en todo el año (véase el caso de Williams, por ejemplo, que a pesar de ello ha logrado un meritorio 5º puesto en el Mundial de Constructores), frente a los que lo han dado todo hasta el final, por ejemplo Red Bull. Y eso es lo que ha hecho que Verstappen pudiera disputar el título a los McLaren hasta la última carrera. Eso y su magnífico rendimiento, por supuesto, pues es un piloto que está a un nivel muy superior al resto de la parrilla. Errores humanos y errores estratégicos. Y es que, aunque Norris ha sido bastante consistente, también ha tenido “sus momentos” complicados. Eso sí, cuando importaba se ha levantado y lo ha dado todo, con cabeza y sin dejarse hundir por las circunstancias, sus errores o los de su equipo, ni, por supuesto, por las críticas vertidas en medios de comunicación o en redes. Piastri, aunque acusó su juventud – y los pocos años de experiencia en la categoría – también se ha mantenido firme (salvo algunas carreras de bajón), demostrando que también tiene pasta de Campeón. Terminan el año con suspenso. La temporada también ha servido de espejo para reflexionar sobre la labor de la FIA y del ente gestor Liberty Media. Y es que deberíamos abrir debate – y en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 se abre – sobre la gestión de comisarios y la profesionalización de estos, cuestiones administrativas que estuvieron bajo escrutinio tanto dentro como fuera de la pista. Ese debería ser uno de los temas clave a plantearse en 2026. Y si la actuación de los comisarios (en pista y fuera de ella) hay que analizarla, lo que no necesita análisis es el rendimiento de algún equipo. Suspenso, directamente, a Ferrari. Ha tenido una temporada para olvidar, sin victorias y con retos competitivos que han consumido recursos y replanteado su futuro estratégico. Aprobado raplón para Mercedes, que tuvo momentos de claridad con actuaciones destacadas, aunque sin capacidad para disputar el título. Sobresaliente a McLaren, que consolidó su posición como líder absoluto, tanto en constructores como en pilotos. Este éxito es el resultado de una sólida gestión técnica y decisiones valientes (y alguna estupidez en pista). En el caso de Red Bull… veremos si la evolución del coche de 2025 no les pasa factura en 2026. Así que lo dejamos pendiente de calificación. La Fórmula 1 del futuro. La reflexión sobre la temporada 2025 no puede entenderse sin proyectar la mirada a 2026. Ha sido un año de transición, aunque mejor aprovechado por unos que por otros. Sin embargo, en todo momento la sombra del cambio de normativa estuvo sobre los equipos, que esperan con ansia (y un poquito de ansiedad) la nueva temporada, para saber si acertaron o no. En cualquier caso, el año 2025 en la Fórmula 1 nos ofreció una batalla por el título digna de un guion cinematográfico, y también una buena película sobre el deporte, que han promocionado hasta la saciedad (es buena, aunque tampoco para tirar cohetes). ¿El reto para 2026? Hacer evolucionar la categoría de forma que atraiga nuevos públicos pero que, sobre todo, no pierda al público fiel que entiende este deporte, vendiendo a jóvenes volubles formatos de consumo rápido. Aunque ya sabemos lo que quiere Liberty: rentabilidad. Y el dinero lo están aportando los petrodólares, así que ya sabemos que tendremos que seguir mirando hacia Oriente (Medio).

Formula 1 Chief Commercial Officer Emily Prazer joins The Big Impression to accelerate the motorsport's hold on Americans with year-round content and venue in Las Vegas. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse LiffreingDamian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today we're joined by Emily Prazer, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and the Chief Commercial Officer of Formula One. She's helping transform F1 into one of the fastest growing sports brands in the world, leading strategy partnerships and fan engagement across markets from Miami to Melbourne.Damian Fowler (00:30):Emily's here to talk about the road to the last Vegas Grand Prix on November the 22nd. Now, in its third year, the Vegas Grand Prix turns the strip into a global stage where sport, entertainment and culture collide under the neon lights.Ilyse Liffreing (00:46):I love that. From the 100 day countdown events to new sponsorship models and digital fan experiences, formula One is redefining what a modern sports brand can look like, especially in the U.S. market.Damian Fowler (01:02):In past years, the marketing around Las Vegas, the Grand Prix has felt like a crescendo building over several months. What's been your strategy this year as you build, it's the third year, right? As you build towards those?Emily Prazer (01:14):Yeah, this third year, so I think the difference this year is we've had two years of a foundation to figure out what works and what doesn't work, but equally we've had our building open all year, so prior, well the first year we're obviously building the building for those that dunno, it's called Grand Prix Plaza. It's the length of three NFL fields, so it's not small. It's designed and built to service the Formula One Paddock Club, which is the most high-end hospitality that we offer in Formula One. Underneath that is where the garages are and where the teams hang out, so it's quite a significant building. When we first moved to Vegas, we purchased the 39 acres of land and have invested around $500 million in this infrastructure and so the difference I think is obviously the first year we were building it, the second year we were getting to grips with owning such a significant property in Las Vegas and then moving into the third year of the event, the building's been open all year and we built something called F1 Drive, which is carting.(02:10):We've had a restaurant up there called Fool and Fork, which is Formula One, themed food and beverage as you'd expect. We built an immersive Formula one experience called F1 X and so the marketing's ramped up, but that's because locally we've been able to activate since the day after the race last year all the way through to this year, and obviously how we market is very different depending on what we're trying to do, whether it's selling tickets or whether it's driving foot traffic to the building. It's all the awareness that we need in Las Vegas to continue to grow our fan base.Damian Fowler (02:41):The a hundred day countdown, that's important,Emily Prazer (02:43):Right? That was a big one. We always go big around a hundred days. We did a strip takeover, we made sure people understood that it was a hundred days ago. We did similar for 50 days, so we use those milestones to make sure, obviously Vegas is somewhat a last minute market. Some Grand Prix go on sale and sell out in 90 minutes. We see the most amount of activity from a hundred days through to November.Damian Fowler (03:04):That's very interesting. How do you decide which moments where you target your marketing strategy in that a hundred day buildup?Emily Prazer (03:12):Oh, well, we're very fortunate that the racing continues For those, again, that aren't familiar, formula One is a 24 race calendar, which spans globally, so we typically go big around the big races as you'd expect. We've just come out of Singapore where hopefully people have seen that McLaren won the Constructors Championship. We'll go big again around Austin and Mexico. They're both feeder markets to the Las Vegas Grand Prix and we'll just continue to make sure we've got major announcements, whether it be food and beverage merchandise programming all the way through between now and race day.Ilyse Liffreing (03:42):Now, can you also talk a little bit about the F1 business summits because you're also launching that during race week? Sure. How intentional is the idea of making Vegas not just a race, but a business and cultural destination?Emily Prazer (03:56):Sure. Well, if you look at what Vegas do around other major sports, it's not that we're trying to reinvent the wheel, we're taking learnings from how well the NFL have operated there with the Super Bowl, even around WWE where you see them extend from a one or two day event through to a whole week. We are very fortunate that again, for those that dunno, formula One kicks off on Thursday with free practice, we have qualifying on Friday and then on Saturday is the race. And so we are lucky that we actually have really good opportunity for shoulder programming and so it was a lot of requests coming through from multiple stakeholders saying we'd love to get the ecosystem together and talk about how we've shifted Formula One culturally into something very different. Obviously it's a sport first and foremost, but I think everyone's now seeing the change into more of a lifestyle brand and a proposition around how we're executing with some partners, which I'm sure we'll get to, but I think a lot of it has been around how we kind of talk about that strategy and how we've grown the sport over the last five years.(04:54):So it was very intentional, it's had really great uptake and as you'll see as we get closer to the race, we'll start talking about what we're doing kind of Tuesday, Wednesday all the way through.Damian Fowler (05:04):It was interesting you brought up the mention of partners and the fact that Formula One now transcends the racetrack and I for one say follow some Formula One drivers on Instagram. How do you play into that whole notion now that Formula One is this lifestyle brand and what does that mean when it comes to partnerships?Emily Prazer (05:26):Well, we've been really fortunate that we've, formula One was bought by Liberty Media in 2017 and the handcuffs were taken off per se, where social media was something that didn't really exist in the sport prior to that and the drivers have done a great job and the teams have done a great job of giving us access collectively to the drivers. They're all a lot younger than they have been before, so we've been fortunate enough to help them build their profiles through social, but obviously the pivot came with Drive to Survive. Everyone knows that that was a big leap of faith that Formula One took to be able to give behind the scenes access. It's a complicated sport that had traditionally been kept to a different type of club and we've opened up those floodgates and obviously we're reaping the rewards of that at the moment.(06:10):It hasn't been easy, but ultimately when you have the likes of Netflix wanting to display what we do, hopefully everyone's seen the Formula One movie with Brad Pitt, which is now I think the highest grossing sporting movie of all time and Brad Pitt's highest grossing movie of all time. So that again, is a great explainer if you take that concept, the strategy around all of it has to create this always on dynamic, which isn't just about the 24 race weekends, it's about how to have brand extension through partnerships 24 7, 365 days a year that's come to life through our licensing business, which I can get to and also our sponsorship business, that the thought process was we want to sign less B2B organizations more consumer brands, not because we don't appreciate, we are always going to have a B2B element Formula One lives in that space, especially on the technical side of the sport, but as it talks about how we penetrate the fan base, how we acquire new fans and how we talk to fans differently.(07:06):One of the big pieces of it was, well, how do we show up in every shopping mall, not just in North America, but globally and using the likes of Lego? You would've seen our recent announcement with Tag Hoya. You now go to these shopping malls and you see these different brands actually activating and taking some learnings from how the US sports do it, where everywhere you go you can buy a t-shirt. I think one of my proudest moments was being at the Super Bowl last year in New Orleans and seeing people in the parade wearing Formula one T-shirts.(07:32):I was like, that shows that the strategy is working. In addition to we acknowledge that pricing of Grand Prix is expensive, they're also places you typically have to travel to, and so brand extension through license partners has been really important. We have something called F1 Drive, which we'll be rolling out, which is the carting proposition I mentioned in Vegas we have F1 arcade, which is now opening up and popping up all over North America. We have F1 exhibition, which is a tribute to the history of the sport and we'll keep growing as we want to keep penetrating and explaining to those fansIlyse Liffreing (08:07):Fans. That is really interesting hearing you describe just how different the strategy here is in the US too because F1 is such a global brand. How do you I guess, keep the brand though true to its global roots at the same time as also making it feel like America's race?Emily Prazer (08:25):Definitely not trying to make it feel like America's race. I think taking the learnings of how to speak to the audience we've acquired wherever we go, the benefit of being a global sport is we're global, but in each of those destinations we act very local. So when you're there, you very much know that when you're at the British Grand Prix that you're at Silverstone and there's all of the heritage around it, Monza, there's nothing more special in global sport in my opinion, than seeing the ZI on a Sunday run onto the grid with the Ferrari flags and what have you that you can't take that passion and bottle it up and just pop it into a US race. The US market is different, but if you look at how Miami has identified itself, you for sure know where you are. Same with Austin, where it's Texas and everybody is in cowboy boots and you know that you're in Texas and then Vegas takes it to a different level because we partner with our friends at the L-B-C-V-A and other partners in Vegas to bring that kind of extreme entertainment to life. So yeah, wherever you go, you really do know where you are and that's where I think the local element comes into play.Ilyse Liffreing (09:28):Has anything changed in the sports rights context in order for Formula One to really be able to create more social and organic marketing tied to the event?Emily Prazer (09:41):Yeah, I think it's that we've got the confidence to try different things and have given different types of access. So you'll see obviously that we have lots of short form content. Now we're noticing that this generation of fandom that we're trying to continue to excite wants to look at things slightly differently, whether it be through YouTube or TikTok. I think we're launching our first TikTok store in a couple of weeks, which I never thought we would be in a place to do, but it's a testament to where the sports got to. So I don't think the rights have changed. I think our approach to it has changed where we have the confidence because of the excitement around destinations like Las Vegas to shift our mindset. Like I say, we're not going to do it everywhere. We're going to pick specific places to test it, and Vegas for us for the last three years has served as that test testbed.(10:28):You'll see the collaborations alone that we do in the merchandise space we've not been able to replicate prior and we're proud of it. What we're doing there is giving us the confidence to deliver new partnerships across the sport. American Express is a prime example where they came in as a Vegas only partner, did a year of that, a year later became a regional partner, so they activated across the Americas and then a year after that became a global partner. So it's just showing that we can bring in these more consumer led brands, but also how we've shifted our mindset to be able to deliver against it.Damian Fowler (11:00):That happened very fast. It's kind of amazing. You touched on this a little bit, but the different audiences in the different markets. What have you learned after the first two years of hosting Grand Prix in the United States about American fans specifically?Emily Prazer (11:16):Just that you need to give them variety. They aren't going to come in and behave the same way as a traditional Motorsport fan that has been or has grown up with. The heritage of the British audience is a great example where I mentioned Silverstone goes on sale and sells out. We've had to adjust the product to make sure that we're very much catering to that audience and the programming around it, like we talked about, has been super important. People don't want to come just for one session, but they want the option to come and leave and go to a casino or go to a different show and what have you. So they're looking for all round entertainment, not just coming to watch the Formula One event, which we focus specifically on making sure that we deliver against.Damian Fowler (11:59):One thing that's interesting about Vegas as well is that it's a big draw for tourism globally as well and people fly in. So maybe that fan base is also kind of a mix of international and local.Emily Prazer (12:11):Yeah, well interestingly, we've seen the majority of our fan base come from Mexico, Canada, and within the United States. I think Vegas obviously is incredibly special that they cater to everyone. I think they have something like 150,000 hotel rooms that spam from five star all the way through, and so one of the things that we had to pivot from in the first year where we expected Vegas to be this really, really high end proposition was actually that we needed to cater for all different types of ticket package and hospitality package. So we've learned those differences. We thought that it would be very, very high end and mostly international. It's actually around 80% domestic, but drive in traffic and fly in traffic from other US markets in. Like I said, Canada and Mexico have been significant buyers of the Grand Prix and Vegas.Ilyse Liffreing (12:59):Very cool. I'm very curious what kind of feedback you've gotten so far from those fans, sponsors, broadcasters, anybody watching the sport in Vegas?Emily Prazer (13:09):Well, the sponsors love it because it's something different. Like I said, we put a lot of emphasis on the production. What we were all really surprised about was the quality of the racing. I think it has the most overtakes on the Formula one calendar, so that was something we weren't going to know until you can do simulations, but until you see cars going around the track in the first year, we didn't really acknowledge or understand how great the actual racing would be. So I think that was the biggest surprise around feedback and what the broadcasters and general audience have been quite positive about shifting. The mentality and mindset has been something that we're proud of, but it's all stemming from the confidence we've gained through promoting our own event.Ilyse Liffreing (13:47):When you look at success, what KPIs are you most interested in? Is it ticket sales or,Emily Prazer (13:54):I think it's all around halo effect for the sport ticket sales and revenue is obviously my ultimate goal. I'm the chief commercial officer of Formula One, so I don't think I can sit here and say otherwise, but brand extension and growing the fandom and being engaged, giving another touch point to the US audience when again, I mentioned Liberty bought Formula One in 2017, they were very clear that they had two very strategic objectives. One was growing the sport in the United States, the other was growing the sport in Asia and obviously Asia's taken a little bit longer for obvious reasons with COVID and what have you, but we're starting to see the momentum pick up again there. The US we heavily focused on signing Miami as a starting point as a partnership with the Miami Dolphins, which we're really happy with, proud of as they have shown us how to do it. Seeing how they put their event on before we even put on Vegas meant that we could really take their learnings. But yeah, the expectations are that we continue to grow it, that the production level remains incredibly high and that it's our tempo event in the Formula one calendar.Damian Fowler (14:55):Now, you mentioned the Netflix show Drive to Survive, and obviously there's been a lot of media around the importance of that show. Could you talk a little bit about the significance of that show, how it helps or not inspire marketing strategy?Emily Prazer (15:09):Yeah, it comes back to this always on point that I mentioned before, which is Formula One needs to be accessible for the next generation of fans to truly understand it and the next generation of fans care about the competitive nature of the racing, but they also want to understand the personalities behind the sport, and I think it gave us the opportunity to open up to be able to show who we all are. The technical terminology, the filming that went into that and the movie to be honest, has given us the opportunity to use that content to be able to explain what DRS means or what is the significance of each Grand Prix, what does it actually mean? So these drivers like the NFL, when a player puts on a helmet, it's hard to understand the emotion, but being able to get to know the drivers and the team behind the drivers, which is also incredibly important, has been really helpful in our marketing strategy.(16:01):But what it inspired was how do we talk to the different audience? Like I said before, you can't talk to that audience the same way that you talk to the 75-year-old fan that's been going to Silverstone since its inception. So a lot of it has been about how we change our thoughts around short form content and how we use different platforms. To talk to a different audience in different markets has just meant that we've had to learn how to engage and pivot from just broadcast on a Sunday to every minute of every day coming up with new ideas to talk to the fan base.Damian Fowler (16:34):That's pressure for sure. You also mentioned the different channels, and we do talk about a lot about how live sports is now available across many, many different channels and tech platforms are bidding next to traditional broadcasters. I wonder in the mix of things, and especially when it comes to the show and when you broadcast it, how important has that kind of explosion as it were of channels been?Emily Prazer (17:00):I mean we have been ahead on the curve on that somewhat for we are different. Formula One owns its own broadcast capability. We have an office or a building in the UK in Big and Hill and Kent for those that have been in London, been to Kent around London and it's incredible. We own and operate again the whole thing. So every camera, every fiber optic cable, everything you see at a Grand Prix is being produced by Formula One. We have remote operations at the track that go back to Big and Hill and we have 180 broadcasters globally. So we've always been slightly different to other mainstream sports in that regard because we produce our own show, which is helpful for us around sponsorship and what have you. But generally speaking, I think obviously the world is changing and we've got to make sure we keep up with it.Ilyse Liffreing (17:47):Looking forward, which marketing innovations, there's obviously a lot right now, but ai, contextual, programmatic, what excites you the most? Is there any digital marketing innovations?Emily Prazer (18:02):Yeah, I think AI is something that we are excited but cautious. Again, with the sport that's so technologically advanced, you've got to be thoughtful about how we use it. We also don't want to lock ourselves in one direction or the other. So we're doing a lot of work without Formula One has the most unbelievable roster of tech partners. If you think about Salesforce, AWS, Lenovo globin to name a few, they're going to tell us how to use AI to benefit our sport, not just commercially, but on the tech side. So we are very excited about it, not just from a marketing point of view, but from a just general point of view. How does AI benefit the sport? We're taking a massive amount of time to think about just general activations. I know that sounds kind of immature if you think about Formula One, but how do we bring different activity to the track outside of just races? I'm not sure if either of you saw what we did in Miami with Lego, where Lego built 10 full size cars for the drivers to race Lego cars around the track.Damian Fowler (19:05):I show my son that. That'sEmily Prazer (19:06):So cool. If you think about the content that that created around marketing, that was probably the most viral thing we've done in a very, very long time. So our marketing strategy at the moment is about solidifying the brand equity, making sure that we deliver against our partnership objectives and that we continue to grow our social platforms. I'm not going to say that we're not technically as advanced, but the data capabilities is all quite new to Formula One. Loyalty programs are all quite new to us, so for us, I keep coming back to it, but it's really about figuring out how to engage with the audience and have something to sell them. Again, we're a rights holder that doesn't have tons of assets to sell ourselves. We license a lot out, and so really it's about coming up with these creative ideas to be kind of 10 steps ahead of anyone else.(19:53):And I think we are in a very unique space. We're very lean, which means we can be very nimble. So when we're making a lot of these decisions, it's me going to Stefano who's the CEO of Formula one saying, how do you feel about us trying something like this? And that's again, where we link the Vegas piece together with the broader marketing strategy to continue to keep everyone engaged rather than it just being like a technical marketing play. Obviously we do that day in, day out, but I think for us it's the confidence we've got now to really push the boundaries and be the first to do a lot of different things, whether it be what we're doing in the broadcast around all of the different types of digital advertising and what have you. I think again, if you watch the races, you'll start to see that we are trying and testing new technologies in thatIlyse Liffreing (20:37):Way. And on that note, we talked a little bit before about the timing of the race in Vegas. InEmily Prazer (20:46):Vegas. Yeah.Ilyse Liffreing (20:47):Because it's a new time for you guys thatEmily Prazer (20:49):10:00 PM Yeah, we moved it forward from 10:00 PM to 8:00 PM which is great. I think a lot of people were struggling with how that's local time, right? Local time, yeah. When we first went to Vegas, the idea was that the timing would be in line with the boxing match or the show. So it wasn't done for any other reason than 10 o'clock on a Saturday night in Vegas is when typically you start seeing things happen. The difference being is that the distance or time you need to keep between certain amounts of sessions meant that it created gaps. So if there were delays that 10:00 PM could technically be pushed. And so we had our issues in the first year. We learned from those last year operationally delivered really well, but we still felt that it was slightly too late, hence the 8:00 PM start. So everything has shifted forward. We have F1 Academy this year, which we're really excited about, so that will, I think doors now open at 2:30 PM rather than four. So it means everything will be a lot earlier, but it's all for the show.Damian Fowler (21:48):And presumably you have a kind of global viewership as well, so that all impactsEmily Prazer (21:53):The trends. Yeah, I think it obviously will be beneficial to the east coast market, not so beneficial to the rest of the world, but we still feel good about the viewership numbers and what we're seeing. SoDamian Fowler (22:03):The true fans willEmily Prazer (22:05):Watch you, right? If not next. Exactly. Hands always come through. Exactly.Damian Fowler (22:08):Alright, so we've got some kind of quick fire questions here to wrap this up. So first off, what keeps you up at night in the lead up to this?Emily Prazer (22:16):Everything in the lead up? The lead up. I'm not sleeping at all my first year as A CEO, I think last year it would've been ticket sales. This year it's probably just security and all round operations. So as my role has expanded on the Vegas race particularly, it's just we are opening and closing the track every three hours. It's not like other street races keep their roads closed for up to seven days. We are having to keep it open and close it regularly. You're in one of the busiest roads in North America, so we don't really have much of a choice and we don't want to impact the locals any further. So I think it's just being responsible for the logistics is scary.Damian Fowler (22:58):Wow. I agree. Closing the road down is like mind blowing.Emily Prazer (23:00):Yeah, it is genuinely mind blowing. If you go to Vegas now, you can see that things are still are on their way to being built and it's like, oh wow, this is happening.Ilyse Liffreing (23:10):That is scary. I'm scary for you. What would you say is missing in the US sports sponsorship marketplace that you would love to see happen?Emily Prazer (23:19):Ooh, good question. I haven't thought about the answer to that. That's a hard one. I'm going to have to sit on that one for a minute. Don't worry. Yeah, I mean I can't speak for, I can only really speak for my sport, but I'd love to have the same access to the teams that N-F-L-N-B-A have as the rights holder. We definitely don't get to just sell the team IP as we see fit. We have something in Formula One called the Concord Agreement, which means that we have some restrictions there. But yeah, let me have a think about the broader space. Sorry. I like that answer One hit me.Damian Fowler (23:52):That's a good answer there. We can circle back and do it again if you want, but I like that to be honest. Okay. So which other sports or entertainment brands do you think are nailing their brand positioning right now?Emily Prazer (24:03):I think the NBA and the NFL, they just do it so unbelievably well and they have fandom here. I've never witnessed in the UK you very much see the fandom around a specific team. Here you see genuine fandom around the NFL. And what I love as a Brit in the US obviously is I still can't believe how each of the TV channels cross-promote each other for other games. So you'll be watching Fox and they'll be like, tune into CBS to watch this game. And you're like, oh wow. They really do do it for the greater good of the league. We would obviously it's different. We don't have multiple games in Formula One, but if I think about it in comparison to the Premier League, you really do follow the team. If I'm a Chelsea fan by the way, but I would watch Chelsea, I wouldn't then flip channels to watch Man United in the us.(24:57):I find myself on a Sunday watching three or four games and I'm like, I'm not even your core audience. It has to be something to do with the marketing that it's always there telling me what to do, telling me how to watch it. And I really admire, maybe this is actually the answer to the previous question. I actually admire how good they are at getting in my head because I think about it, I'm like, what games are on a Sunday or what playoffs are happening in the NBA and I go to watch it because it's there. Whereas like I said, premier League, as much as I'm a huge Chelsea fan and grew up with it, you just don't seem to be able to follow it like that.Damian Fowler (25:35):Yeah, that's very interesting. Would you say you were an NFL fan before you came to theEmily Prazer (25:39):Us? No, not at all. Didn't know the rules and now I'm like hardcoreDamian Fowler (25:42):Because of the marketing, I guess.Emily Prazer (25:43):Wow. Must be. They just got in my head.Damian Fowler (25:46):Amazing. Yeah.

While media pioneer John Malone may not be a household name, he's had a hand in shaping how all of us watch TV. Malone built Denver-based Tele-Communications Inc. into the largest cable company in the country, and then carved out Liberty Media from TCI. Liberty, along with various spinoff companies, have owned controlling stakes in companies like Discovery, SiriusXM, the Atlanta Braves, and Formula 1. Now, at 84, Malone has a new book out, “Born to Be Wired,” about his career and the fellow media titans he met along the way.   Kara and Malone talk about how he transformed from the Ivy League-educated engineer to one of the “cable cowboys” who helped bring cable television into the homes of millions of Americans, how he squares his libertarian politics with President Donald Trump's policies and the MAGA Republican Party, and why he thinks Big Tech needs major regulation. He also expands on some of his recent critiques of CNN and supposed left-wing bias in the media.  Questions? Comments?
