    I’m dying at the thought of 6 pointless races lol I guess there’s still money to fight over and wind tunnel time for next year but most people won’t sit on the edge of the couch excited over 3% more wind tunnel time

      I’ve been wondering at which point a team would go “it’s not worth it to race for us, we already won” in some shape or form (like retiring every single race)
      I mean, you’d get another huge surge of coverage for doing that, so the marketing might like it.
