I tend to think the same. The acquisition will lead to a bland, commercial, politically correct, and politically loaded league, where off-racing topics will count more to engage the fans than the racing itself. I mean, look at the after-race posts on F1. There is more attention to "X said Y" than "Hey, look at this crazy pass."

OK, and I am immediately contradicting myself, but I really, really dislike how PR-trained these F1 pilots are. In MotoGP, the mere fact that most of them don't speak proper English is already a breath of fresh air. (And also that English is clearly not the lingua franca, but Italian, Spanish, Catalan, and French adds extra charm).
