The 2 logos are very similar, the F is pretty much the same. I'm sure the trademark attorneys are rubbing their hands together with this one.

I remember seeing a headline somewhere about this but did not read the article. For sure, the lawyers must be rubbing their hands in glee.

Vintage Monaco F1 film, when Monaco the city and the race course looked so much different.

As much as I like what the new F1 ownership is doing, their TV strategy has me worried. I fear they’ll mess it up if they go an NFL or nascar route.

and I’ll miss the NBC crew including Bob Varsha.

I'm definitely going to miss the NBC crew as well.

It's pay to view here for years though, so that hasn't really changed. So it'll be ABC for the US & Mexican races this year, that isn't much different. Really all depends who is going to be the commentators from now on, that's where they could really screw the pooch, or save it.
