Circus shows, droid tracks, ineffective rule changes and less and less emotion. This is what anyone who doesn’t support Red Bull Racing sees in 2024. The biggest problem is that a large part of the industry feels it too.
Eddie Jordan sees exactly this, and in addition to the traditions he also terribly misses the powerful engines that are good for the sport. He is not the only one who thinks this way:
“Oh my God! When you were at a race, say at Silverstone, and the pack started with V10 engines… It was something incredible, you felt like the earth was going to open up underneath you. There was an extraordinary force and dynamic, the fans loved it, everyone was excited, and they could do it, and yet they don’t want to bring it back. Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with the drivers, I respect them a lot, but these current cars… They’re not even racing cars, they’re more like tractors!
Ton monsters, with a huge overweight, a real shame in the history of Formula 1. And by the way, it is also a great shame for the regulators, and humiliating for those who have F1 in their DNA. I hate these people for what they have done to this wonderful sport!” - expressed a devastating opinion about the FIA Liberty Jordan production. It may sound like a cliché, but we can not contradict the old.
