Email! “Max is a great racer,” says Yash Gupta, “and he also polarises people with his style which I quite like: elbows out and stuff. However he’s bang on about this F1 schedule. It is getting crowded more and more and as a result I’m already starting to lose a bit of interest. F1 should take a look at football. You can only add so much stuff before traditional supporters get worn out. You can parade around higher sponsorship deals but ultimately it takes its toll. I’ve already lost interest in wrestling, cricket and same has started with football especially since November. With upcoming changes F1 might be next.”
Yes, I’d say cricket in particular is struggling with this issue – it feels like it’s in the throes of becoming two different things: Tests and T20. This is what happens when those who run ting think sport exists to make money, rather than makes money because it exists.
