Bernie Ecclestone flunks modern Formula 1

The words of Bernie Ecclestone

Bernie Ecclestone spoke to the microphones of the Belgian TV RTBF about the Formula 1 mderna: "It’s getting crazy and you could sum up all these rules only with one sentence: ‘Don’t fight, otherwise you’ll get in trouble’. We have already seen this in Mexico, with the two ten-second penalties given to Max. If penalties are given for these things, then what will happenà in the face of more serious situations? How many seconds of penaltyà should be given?”.

"I think it is going a little bit too far, that it is all too neat, all too methodical. These are no longer real racing”, added the'former circus boss, now 94.

"È like everything in the world, everything is always changing. I am not saying that the people who are there now are doing a bad job, but just that they have not looked carefully enough at the things that need to be eliminated and changed", he concluded.
