This is also the Teams and FOM sending a big FU to Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
IMHO Mohammed Ben Sulayem will be replaced at first opportunity.
No doubt you’re correct, and well deserved. BUT: it’s also a FU in a way to US interest in F1 and is pretty damn hypocritical given that F1 is milking the US interest in the sport for all it’s worth at the moment.

Ridiculous set of reasons. Half the teams were non competitive last year, with $hitty sponsors, and not bringing additional value to the F1. GM adds real value. Andretti has proven winning experience in non F1 racing. Would be a real US Team.
This is just the teams protecting their annual income and increasing their valuation. Not actually what's best for the sport and the fans

When you realize its a business and racing is the product, it all makes sense. Even Haas adds a lot of value.

For sure did not see this coming.
All I can say is that a number of multi-time former WDC's (Alonso and Vettel, for example) think they can pull a Schumacher and go in and "fix" Ferrari through their sheer force of will. We all know how that has worked out...
This popped up, too:
Note the car number...

3-2-1, the Italians are going crazy, and spinning it into a yarn of a decade and a half long unconsummated relationship, finally ready to do the dirty deed... God, I love 'em...
Google Translate widget is your friend, if you don't read Italian.
Hamilton switching to Ferrari in 2025 will create a really interesting dynamic in the Mercedes garage this year... I can already hear Hamilton whining about not getting the latest parts and the preferential treatment of George...
As a life long Ferrari fan, this is nothing but an advertising, marketing and money grab that will do absolutely NOTHING for the racing side of things. And if you don't believe me, just since this has been announced this morning, shares of Ferrari on the exchange have increased 6.5%, an increase of $4 billion dollars. The biggest impact will be with ad revenue, merchandise etc. and wouldn't be surprised with Hamilton has a back end deal for a percentage of merch sales.
Agree with Coach/Peter, everyone thinks they can be Schumacher and bring Ferrari to glory again, but it's not that simple.
