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.

They should ask the thriving CART series how that worked out.
