Re: F1 - where has all the money gone?
Is it possible that F1 teams are losing revenue/sponsors because the sport has focussed way too much on entering emerging markets (who often don't even appreciate the sport that much) rather than staying true to its core markets? E.g. Europe losing most of its races...

Racing is a lot more expensive than it used to be. Name another open-wheel racing series that allows teams to build their own chassis.

Re: F1 - where has all the money gone?
It must be hugely costly, I mean money is flooding into Football so there is money around, but just not enough money to fund F1 adventures anymore.
There used to be a few eccentric rich guys having a go at F1. No more though.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

It surprises me that oil companies are taking a backseat with sponsorship. Companies like Shell, Mobil, Petronas for example used to be much more heavily involved in the sponsorship of teams.

Re: F1 - where has all the money gone?
To an extent the cigarette companies have been replaced by gambling companies in sports sponsorship generally. But they are not very evident in F1. I guess one problem is they tend to be national/regional brands rather than global ones so they're less interested in globe-trotting sports like F1.
