    Liberty Media owns Formula One Management (FOM), the company responsible for the production of F1 as a piece of media, while the International Automobile Federation (FIA) is responsible for the rule formula itself, the stewards, marshalls, race director, etc.

    So when the person said, “no one outside of the US has heard of either” they were wrong. Liberty Media certainly isn’t as well-known a name as Formula 1, but it owns Formula 1.

      And Formula one is massively corrupt. F1 races are also hotbeds of human trafficking.

      There may be some races, but ladies, that’s not why your husband is there.

      IndyCar is run by a few billionaires who all support MAGA, and your government spends hundreds of millions of your taxpayer dollars supporting teams.

      Roger Penske getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom for no reason.

        F1 races are also hotbeds of human trafficking.

        According to some Russian propaganda conspiracy forum?

        There may be some races, but ladies, that’s not why your husband is there.

        Sure, nobody who goes to a race goes to see cars drive quickly…
