New Motorsport Week article: Time to start...opening your minds (to later race starts)

How quickly reputations shift in F1. It seems just like yesterday Liberty Media was the great white hope. These days it seems increasingly like a pariah.

It's flown another kite. This time to shift the starting time of races back by 70 minutes. And the reaction against was immediate and resolute.

In my latest for Motorsport Week I argue that perhaps we should have more of an open mind. I mean, at least let us hear the rationale. Who knows, the idea might have something going for it?

  1. The football argument is decisive. No one bats an eye regarding the time schedule of any football match (be it local, national, european or world cup). And nowhere I see people watching football while having a regular lunch - there are no matches starting at 1 pm. I hope in a few years we all learn to dismiss social media reactions in the first days after whatever "happened".
