Build cars that allow you to drive close behind.
Creates this ridiculous budget cap, engine cap, etc. away.
They do nothing except that not every last thing is taken out of the cars.
Back then there was a new engine for every session. Tire choice was up to each individual.
1st training, 2nd training, 3rd training, Qualification, Warm-up, Race.
After 320 km the engine was dead.
Formula 1, as the top series, should also be the most expensive series.
If the season costs 350 million euros, then so be it. It's Formula 1.
Build cars that can be overtaken without any technical gadgets.
Plant grass next to the white line or curbs again or build gravel beds again.
Then the topic of track limits is history and missing the curve is immediately punished with loss of place.
Stop calling parking lots race tracks.
Stop neutering Monaco & Spa.
Stop plastering the screen with computer game graphics.
Announce penalties during the race and not 10 years later. Finally let spectacle happen again. When I see the ridiculous things drivers are punished for today, I think of kindergarten trips on bobby cars. That's how it started with the DTM. Everyone can see where this series stands now. Now any GT3 series, there are hundreds of them.
Where have the real DTM cars gone?
It's called the German Touring Car Championship, isn't it?
Let them drive in the rain again. But the blow-dried hair under the helmet could get wet.
As an old racing driver once said. We still applied the brakes when it rained.
But that's just how it is when you practice on TV. An accident doesn't hurt.
Limit the number of races again to a level that allows sensible preparation for the season. Tearful radio message today:
He pushed me away. That was, was, was life-threatening. I'm still shaking now.
I come in, I'm traumatized.
When I think about all the duels over the last thirty years.
Schumi vs. Hakkinnen. Schumi vs. Montoya, Schumi vs. Hill, Schumi vs. Villeneuve or all the tough duels between the midfielders. They had the knife between their teeth.
Put men in the cars again and not children with three hairs glued to their chests.
This whole “we love each other” drama is unbearable.
Formula 1 used to be the toughest and fastest racing class. Today, even road vehicles have more horsepower and sometimes drive faster. Not in acceleration, but in top speed.
I look forward to it every weekend.
There is always a race going on somewhere that is streamed.
WEC in Fuji, VLN Nürburgring. Vintage racing at Goodwood. That was just Sunday.
Who else needs Formula 1?
Especially since the prices for a Formula 1 race are so overpriced.
If even television stations no longer want to pay for broadcasts, that should give those responsible something to think about
