Autosport - No Vettel Cover This Week :-(

[Mr Senna]

I know Jenson did a great job but Seb won his second title and I think it's a poor effort for the magazine not to have a great Vettel cover story this week.

The magazine has also (for years) neglected WRC.

f1 sells don't you know? I guess they see a sales dip when the lead with something other than F1.

WRC started to neglect itself a long time ago. It's nowhere near the sport it used to be. The IRC is actually better now and that started out as nothing more than a poor attempt at a rival.

The magazine has largely ignored non-F1 Motorsport for quite a while now. Compare Autosport with 10-15 years ago. The difference is like night & day. There wasn’t always a F1 cover – I’ve still got some and there are plenty of WRC, Le Mans/GT/Sportscars, BTCC covers. There were always supplements for F1, BRC, BTCC, Le Mans, British GP, R.A.C. Rally & F1 Season review.
Look at the amount of writers on F1. In my opinion, all they are reinforcing is that F1=Motorsport!!

Simple, they will sell more copies with JB on the cover rather than Vettel

I'm a subscriber, and I can read the magazine online, often before the postman delivers it!

Funnily enough the online version did have Vettel on the cover, so I was a bit confused when it came through the letterbox...
