Circus entertainment, droid tracks, all the rule changes with no effect and less and less excitement. This is what everyone who is not a Red Bull Racing fan sees in 2024. The bigger problem is that a significant part of the experts see this too.
This is exactly what Eddie Jordan sees, who, in addition to traditions, also misses the loud engines that are beneficial to the sport. He is not alone:
"My God! When you were at a race, say at Silverstone, and the field of V10 engines started... It was something incredible, you felt the ground opening up under your feet. There was tremendous power and dynamics in them, the fans loved them, everyone was excited about it, and they could give it back, but they don't want to. 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 machines, they're more like tractors!"
Ton monsters, with a huge excess weight, a real shame in the history of Formula 1. And by the way, it is a huge shame even for those who make the rules, and humiliating for those who have F1 in their DNA. I hate these people for what they have done to this wonderful sport!” - said the disappointed opinion of the FIA production Liberty Jordan. It may sound banal, but we can’t argue with the old man.
