Vettel joins critics: “Don’t lose the soul of F1”

Vettel also among the critics of modern F1 Formula 1 has approved a series of changes to the regulations after the first three races had highlighted strong limitations inherent to the qualifications and safety of the new cars. To evaluate the impact of these improvements (arrived after multiple discussions between the FIA, F1, teams and drivers) we will only have to wait for the Miami weekend, but the impression is that the blanket is short, and that having increased the power output from the electric represents a bottleneck from which it will be impossible to escape in a short time. Among the critics of the new F1 there is also Sebastian Vettel: the four-time world champion has taken a position very similar to that of Max Verstappen, who threatened to retire from a sport he no longer recognises. Vettel’s words “From a sporting point of view, I understand and share the criticisms. The cars may be fun to drive, but it is probably not as fun to race due to the regulations and the difficulties that arise from them”, this is the German’s comment. “I stand in solidarity with the drivers and I am very careful not to lose the DNA and the soul of this sport, which consists in finding the fastest driver in the fastest car.” “I hope that, from a sporting point of view, the changes make the drivers happier, because at the end of the day the drivers are the face of the sport,” he added. “If they get out of the car full of adrenaline and excitement, that excites the audience.”
