An opinion supported by no facts. However F1/FOM could do a lot more with its online media, rather than just make copyright claims on everything that appears on youtube.
A really badly written, un-researched, cheap shot. You could have done the same blog about football, cricket or knitting.Quote:

How you watch F1 on TV without sitting on the "couch" is impossible to answer. Don't you watch "24" or "Coronation Street" in the same way? Nobody complains about that. Presume he is implying us F1 fans are fat and don't get out much. Slightly ironic considering he probably spends most of his day on a computer. For the record, I am very active - keen on playing football, swimming and going to the gym!
Impossibly stupid blog - please don't give this idiot any attention.
A large group of friends watch F1 with close attention, and they are - shock horror - the same age! Not only that, some have only got into it over the last 2/3 years and now love it.
I'm guessing the point of that diatribe is are/how to keep young 'uns engaged in F1.
Best to left to the young 'uns to answer.
...Actually, on second thoughts, I envy kids today. The interweb is a wonderful resource. In my day I relied on Autosport when it was regarded as a bible and a few books from the library.
As for social media - I find 99.9% of its content as utter meaningless drivel.
Completely agree.Quote:

Once that's done you have access to information, news, and (for a business) the means to manage your brand and engage with your customers.
At the last count Fernando Alonso has 591,226 followers on Twitter and his team have 277,142. That's a lot of fans, and customers, which Fernando and Ferrari have direct access to and who are interested in their brand.
F1 was really slow in setting up their website as well. I remember wondering about it back then.Quote:
