British racing team Hitech has formally confirmed it has lodged an entry to join the Formula 1 grid in 2026, after revealing a major new investment deal.
It was also just a single company running a few extremely old ships. The guy who runs it must have had extreme pull to have lobbied for keeping whaling running for so long in the face of massive unpopularity.
Minke whale tastes absolutely fantastic though. Might miss it.
I imagine that if they win the tender nothing much will change other than the logo.
I wonder if it would be more interesting to dispose of the monopoly and grades and simply keep the requirements of having tyre changes - perhaps two changes required for some tracks?
It would probably also require banning exclusive contracts with certain teams, like they had back in the day.
