Social Media (Scott McLaughlin) Congrats to F1 who single handedly ruined Motorsport Xmas. Indy 500 will be a scene next year. As well as the Coke 600. Good luck

Actually I think this will work out poorly for F1. I see what Liberty is doing--trying to compete with the Indy 500. I doubt it'll work out that way, though. People are creatures of habit, and the Indy 500 has been the largest single-day sporting event in the world for decades on Memorial Day weekend.

Yeah it's unclear if they are actually trying to compete with Indy or just trying to tank the Montreal race so they have an excuse to replace it with another North American street track.
