With the average annual cost of running a team—designing, building, and maintaining cars, pay, transport—at approximately £220,000,000 (or $265,000,000),[2] Formula One's financial and political battles are widely reported.

I don't even know or care enough to check if this was even F1 but I recall an episode of Dirty Money about a guy who ran a telemarketing scam operation who basically became a top F1 driver on the basis that he could afford to spend the millions on owning a car and having time to practice. The entire sport is just a pay to win hobby for millionaires with an incredibly shallow pool of talent.

Colapinto did very well in the race, and it will be very funny if that Brazilian driver, Bortoleto, also joins F1 (even though I heard people jokes that Hamilton is a honorary Brazilian). Also, wtf was that between Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz?
