A reminder that F1 is a sport by the bourgeoisie for the bourgeoisie. curry-space

Can we get a Communist Party affiliated Chinese worker co-op car company to enter F1 and demonstrate the superiority of Xi Jinping Thought

[-] ProfessorAdonisCnut@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago

Pretty sure any new teams joining has to be signed off by at least like, 50 people with 'von' in their name

The problem is all the F1 engineers are located in Europe. Unless this hypothetical Chinese team plans to try build an F1 car from first principles, they're going to need a European base, likely in the UK, where most F1 teams are based. Then you also need an engine, current and future F1 engines are hybrid, both using ICE (internal combustion engine) and battery technology. The ICE part of the powertrain is one of the most advanced and thermally efficient petrol engines ever made. Over 50% thermal efficiency. So unless this hypothetical team plans to build one of the most advanced engines ever made from first principles, building an engine would require collaboration with a manufacturer with tonnes of experience with internal combustion engines and turbocharging. And that's just the two most important pieces of the puzzle.

As you can see, getting an F1 team up and running is a very complicated business. And that's before clearing the bureaucracy of the FIA and FOM. That's where Andretti is struggling at the moment, as they are unconvinced by Andretti's plans. No one wants another backmarker team.

In hindsight manufacturer teams quit F1 because it was too expensive back in late 2000s, BMW/Honda/Toyota all left just because of costs. Hypotheticaly speaking the first thing a Chinese corp could have done was to just buy those teams and those factories back then. Maybe secure deals to acquire those engines and develop them as your own.

The Chinese could own like 1/3 of the grid today. Sure as you said everything would have to be in Europe etc but the first principle of modern Chinese economics is just investment for long term and eventually they could have relocated back to China. There was even a period where F1 was trying to expand in Asia(Korea GP, India GP) and having major Chinese manufacturer teams in the top 5 would have changed a lot in the early 2010's. All daydreaming now of course.

Way too much potential in F1 comes down to money and return on investment, those manufacturers treated F1 as a marketing budget just as much as a "R&D" division, the road relevancy rethoric was always false. Mercedes proved so many times for them it was just about winning and marketing.

Good luck. They just rejected andretti who has the backing of GM. Only way in seems to be buying an existing team

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

I wonder if any of these ghouls actually follows the races and geeks out over the car specs like an otaku would. My money they're just posers there for the clout.

[-] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

They're in there. 1 in 1000 ultra rich car guys will actually be really into the cars themselves rather than the status symbol.

Some that come to mind are the guys that will endlessly restore, race, crash, repeat vintage racecars. They'll get in turn-of-the-century deathtraps, slam into a wall, and basically go "ah i guess we're restorin' again" in a crossover episode of the ship of thesius and Sisyphus.

The only rich guys I sorta respect are the kind that will put themselves into harms way for their interests.

[-] fox@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

We need more of those rich eccentrics that tried to invent powered flight and kept killing themselves by gently crashing gliders with eight vertically stacked wings

I can't even hate on the dumb sub billionaire. You know elon will never get in one of his own rockets.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

He gets credit for taking a few billionaires to Davie Jones' locker, too

You can buy, 'oh didn't you get the caviar jeoffrey snort this month's numbers mustn't be looking good snort you peasant'.

Caviar in the empanadas

From a Bluesky thread

“What’s the difference between F1 and Indycar?”

“Well, for starters Roger Penske would be tarred and feathered if he tried to charge you a c-note for a bowl of BBQ pork nachos.”

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

The difference is that F1 wasn’t killed by one failson.

[-] Tiocfaidhcaisarla@hexbear.net 52 points 4 months ago

I'm having trouble processing this, that's over $100 American for anything?

Someone tell me that those numbers are missing a decimal point somewhere before I go absolutely fucking insane oh-shit

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 42 points 4 months ago

where's a hurricane when you need one

[-] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 42 points 4 months ago

Am I understanding right that a "fruit refresher" is just a bowl of fruit?

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 26 points 4 months ago

Looks like fruit over coconut granata. Marginally fancier than a fruit salad lol.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 40 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Add 1oz Caviar* $400

Edit: To be clear, this is the bourg-box not the regular menu. You can probably get $50 nachos in the seats that cost as much as the caviar add-on.

[-] buh@hexbear.net 36 points 4 months ago

this is why you need to work overtime for minimum wage while paying $2000/month in rent, otherwise the CEOs and landlords wouldn't be able to afford their treats!

[-] Dyno@hexbear.net 35 points 4 months ago

grand prix. big price

[-] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 28 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I stg pre-covid weekend tickets used to cost a bit more than that. Wtf happened

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

Let me guess. No outside food allowed...

[-] itappearsthat@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago

well thank god at least the nachos are reasonable

[-] charly4994@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago

Who do I run up to and scream in their face "You're a grand pricks"

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 4 months ago

Chicken wings? Those better be like, extinct Moa wings they cloned explicitly to make wings with for a price like that.

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago
[-] Owl@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

It has crudité, not sliced vegetables, so it costs more.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

That seems fair. The difference between crudité and mere sliced vegetables should be about 100 bucks.

Death to F1 attendees and functionaries
