All earnings of Formula 1 obviously they do not derive exclusively from Corsican. Of course, the vast majority of the proceeds come from the various ones sponsor that we see at every circuit, but the world outside the paddock is immense.
F1 Exhibition, what it is and when it was born
Besides certainly the merchandising made available by Liberty Medium, various Show around the world they are another source of revenue very important for sports. For example, since March this year, the first exhibition on the highest category of motorsport, called F1 Exhibition. A real one museum, where all fans of this sport will be able to realize theevolution year by year, decade by decade. Each room will be set up to recall a specific topic: some will concern safety, others will be used for observation unpublished videos and images about the history of F1, etc. The main curiosities will certainly be addressed to two frames officers exhibited at the exhibition demonstrating the huge step forward done to safeguard safety of the pilots.
The first is that of the car Niki Lauda. The 3-time world champion was a victim in 1976 of a very violent accident at Nurburgring. The race was run in the wet on the longest track complicated never conceived by the human mind. There Ferrari 312 T2 of the Austrian had a moment of aquaplaning who threw the Red against barriers. The car caught fire and Lauda miraculously escaped.
Alongside what remains of that Maranello single-seater there will be another piece of history: the chassis of the car Romain Grosjean. The race, in this case, is very recent. We are in Bahrain, in 2020. At the start, going towards turn 4, the Frenchman is caught by aAlpha Tauri. The car heads towards the guardrail where, after the impact, it it will break and catch fire.
