Circus fun, droid tracks, rule changes with no effect and less and less excitement. That's what everyone who isn't a Red Bull Racing fan sees in 2024. What's even worse is that a significant part of the professional public sees it too.
Eddie Jordan sees this exactly, and besides the traditions, he misses the loud engines that mean the best for the sport. He is not alone in this:
“Oh my! When you were at a race, say at Silverstone, and the field started with V10 engines… It was incredible, you felt the ground opening up under your feet. They had such power and dynamics, the fans loved them, everyone was excited about it, and they could take 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 racing machines, they’re more like tractors!
Ton monsters, damn big overweight, a real shame in the history of Formula 1. And by the way, it's 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've done to this wonderful sport!” - commented on the FIA Liberty Jordan production. It may sound like a phrase, but we can't argue with the old man.
