Can't have an actually competent American team now can we?

I'm not entirely sure this isn't revenge for Mario ditching F1 for Indy fully 40 years ago.

Teams like Haas and Williams don't want to end up being the 11th team in the championship. Now there are in the top 10!

Be careful. People think you're crazy if you say this (I think you're correct, but...)

Well, I don't think you'd be crazy for saying that but I don't believe it to be true.

I've never sensed any animosity to a non European team, rather I think it's just about the money. More teams means less dosh per team which in turn, to some extent, lowers the market value of the existing teams.

It isn’t cause they’re American, if it was any other team the reaction would be exactly the same. They don’t want to split the money more. I know we all want to make it into an anti-American sentiment, but I genuinely believe they don’t care what nationality the team is.
