Interesting. Not sure what any implications are with the cost cap as to how much it benefits them there but certainly from a commercial point of view would be super useful.

Reynolds and McElhenney slowly working on their Sports Empire.

I mean... it's entertaining, but I don't really understand the why, except if they really just enjoy it, and have enough money to burn it on Football and F1.

Or are they Advertising themselves? Have Actors become reliant on advertising like corporations?

Having "fuck you money" is probably the answer you're looking for. Plus, I'm sure they hope that will allow them to go "play" with some new "toys" even if it's not publicly viewed.

Maybe they just legitimately think it's a good investment? I probably wouldn't, but neither am I rich 😂

I always thought F1 only makes sense as advertising for the sponsors/manufacturers

It seems to be working out for Toto Wolff at least!

I feel like Reynolds has been on this for a while to be honest. And fair play to him!
