Re: F1 Gossip/Rumour/Inside news Thread

Basically traditional fans are being ignored as they cater for new younger fans who may or may not stay the course of time. Things change. Older "traditional" fans die off, you have to replace them if you want to continue. I was reading that the philosophy is of continuing to find new fans to repla...
