Circus parties, droid arenas, ineffective rule changes, and increasingly less excitement. This is what everyone will see in 2024, unless they support Red Bull Racing. The worst part is that a significant portion of the industry is seeing it too.
Eddie Jordan sees it clearly, too. Besides the traditions, he terribly misses the noisy engines that benefit the sport. He's not alone in this:
"My God! When you were in a race, say at Silverstone, and the field came out with V10 engines... It was incredible, you felt like the ground had opened up beneath you. There was an incredible power and dynamics, the fans loved it, everyone was excited, and they could be, but they don't want to give it back. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the drivers, I respect them a lot, but these cars today... They're not racing cars, they're more like tractors!
Monsters weighing tons, with an impressive excess weight, a true stain on the history of Formula 1. And, by the way, it's a huge shame for the rule-makers, and it's humiliating for those who have F1 in their DNA. "I hate these people for what they've done to this beautiful sport!" - Jordan expressed his disheartening opinion of the FIA Liberty production. It may sound like a cliché, but we can't argue with the old man.
