Drivers should be steering F1's future, not teams

OK. Enough loot has been spent already. Enough people have had their say. We have commissions and sub-commissions and strategy groups and advisory groups and all the usual Formula 1 fracas. It's fun to read about; it's fun to retweet. And it could be, by now, that Liberty Media actually does know exactly what it's bought - or why it bought it.

I doubt it, however.
