@RamonHerreraSPM Not sure if you're for real

When I think that they went to South Africa for so long, it's seems unbelievable.

But here we are in 2022 going to Saudi Arabia.

The people running the sport might have changed but they are exactly the same kind of people.

@Lurker02653777 @SMitchellF1 FYI: F1 didn't ban tobacco sponsorship. Quite the opposite - it fought to keep it.

What a pity it was about their own (justified) self interests rather than about apartheid...

[Old Autosport @Old_Autosport]

@leclussy @EngineMode11 Agreed!

[Old Autosport @Old_Autosport]

@EngineMode11 What's the general consensus from them?

[Old Autosport @Old_Autosport]

I'd love there to be an F1 race this weekend but I seriously hope the drivers tell the FIA to get stuffed and go home.

Enough is enough.

@racingstatsman @virtualstatman @MBrundleF1 Yes and no.

The FIA wanted to keep the fuel limits the same after teams had agreed to reduce them.

The only team not will to go back on it? Tyrrell.

The FIA conveniently disqualified them from the World Championship the day before the vote.

Totally normal that F1 is still going ahead with the weekend.

[Old Autosport @Old_Autosport]

Enough negativity for one night.

Here's Our Nige bossing 1992.

@Lurker02653777 Neither tobacco nor pit girls mean they need to go to Saudi Arabia

Stop holding races in dictatorships.
Stop holding races in countries with appalling human rights records.

If the teams leave now, they can make it to Knockhill by Sunday.

[Old Autosport @Old_Autosport]

I agree that F1 should spread outside of its traditional markets but some of the counties they've partnered up with over the last decade leaves a lot to be desired.

[Old Autosport @Old_Autosport]

Too many graphics, too dark. Do we really need all this?

[Old Autosport @Old_Autosport]

@DavidsonAnder For the last 40+ years..

[Old Autosport @Old_Autosport]

Might have already been well publicised but Autosport understands that "Masi was not interviewed as part of the investigation" into the Abu Dhabi fiasco.

Astonishing.
