Totally surreal to wake up and see your 9-year passion project on the front of the @WSJ.
Thanks @bzcohen, for really capturing the essence of @AcquiredFM.

The physics of F1 are counterintuitive and awesome.
Here's why the cars evolved to look the way they do today.

watching the launch with the little one (their first) is just damn special 🚀🌕

Incredible month for space nerds.
T-minus 3 hours until @NASAArtemis launches humans farther away from Earth than we've ever explored!

If schedule holds, these 3 giant rockets will launch in the next 3 weeks. From left to right: New Glenn - satellite launch now, planned for the Moon Starship - test flight 12 now, planned for the Moon Artemis - to the Moon and back with 4 crew aboard Pushing the very edge of our capability as we learn how to more safely & cheaply reach space, to explore all that exists beyond. @nasa @SpaceX @blueorigin

@chrisfralic I just made the same jump and feel exactly the same way. The snappiness makes it feel like the whole product changed.

The new MacBook Pro in many ways is the same as my old one, but going from M1 to M5 and the overall speed and power makes it feel like something very different.

There is something really heartwarming watching Kimi Antonelli win. Can't help but smile.

I've been working on this important list for a couple of years now. What am I missing?

One wild thing we didn't have time for on the episode is how teams (briefly) got around the EU tobacco advertising ban.
In 2005, Marlboro bet that their logo was iconic enough that they could turn it into a barcode and STILL get recognition enough to be an effective ad.

Formula 1 sponsor dollars over the last 5 years.
Fascinating how sponsorship overwhelming flows to teams, and not to F1 itself.

@APNavaratnam @djrosent @AcquiredFM @F1 You knocked it out of the park as always. Thanks for all the research help + collaboration!

Had a blast nerding out with @gilbert & @djrosent to help create @AcquiredFM's new @F1 episode 🎙️🏎️
In 2001, Bernie Ecclestone bought F1's commercial rights for 100 years for $360M.
That was... an incredible long-term investment: it's now worth ~$24B. 65x return. ~20% CAGR over 24 years. 🏆
One of the great compounding stories in sports and lots of track ahead.

F1 had some real wacky designs back in the day.
Here's the Lotus 49B (1969) before the regulations got... a little tighter about where you could mount wings on a car.

@JoePompliano @klace32 @AcquiredFM Thanks, Joe!
Funny, I was just reading your write-up thinking, "I wish I had read this while we were still in our research process." :) It's great.
English
@klace32 @AcquiredFM Nope, I do it every year before the season starts but I will definitely be listening to their episode. Everything they do is such high quality.
