F1 and the FIA launched a joint declaration to keep in mind concerning being on the same web page amidst current difficulties, as Stefano Domenicali address various topics.
Ever because the requisition of Mohammed Ben Sulayem as FIA President, the scenario in between the controling body and F1 been a little bit on and off. There has actually been various public nay expressions, while points have actually prepared in between both on the within as well.
There has actually been various circumstances with the most recent being the F1 Academy instance of Susie Wolff and Mercedes group manager Toto Wolff where the FIA relatively opened a situation of dispute, which got a plain objection and a lawful declaring from the Austrian.
Amid public distinctions, F1 and the FIA has actually launched a joint declaration in advance of this weekend break’s Imola general practitioner discussing advancement of critical strategy for the good of thesport It does not lug any type of quotes, yet is a simple declaration.
“The FIA Formula 1 World Championship has never been so strong and is growing globally and the FIA and Formula 1 are committed to delivering the best outcomes for the whole sport,” it claimed. “To that end, both parties are developing a new strategic plan that will allow us to seize the opportunities and further enhance the potential for F1 in the years ahead.”
Amid this, F1 principal Domencali has actually been consulting with the Italian media concerning various topics connecting to thesport One of it holds true of Red Bull having possession of 2 groups, where the Italian kept in mind concerning bewaring in the handling of that.
There is range of enhancement definitely. Among others, Domenicali kept in mind of the schedule dimension and exactly how brand-new markets is requiring the conventional circuits to tip up. Speaking of preserving the practice, the sprint style is likewise being checked.
The Italian tossed light on MotoGP design of entire period sprint races, which Domenicali isn’t stating no to on F1 side regardless of understanding the ‘tradition vs modern’ fight which is continuous. Here’s passages from what he claimed concerning various topics–
F1 schedule, dimension–
Domenicali: “We are seeing a great deal of rate of interest from a great deal of nations in Formula 1, and this clearly stands for a possibility for advancement. At the same time, nevertheless, it places us under a commitment to choose in regards to the schedule. We are seeing an expanding rate of interest in the Far East and the United States, yet likewise a resurgence in Europe, most likely many thanks to Madrid, which provided a shakeup simply when everybody assumed that no one on the Old World wanted doing something brand-new. You will certainly likewise see the job done on the Hungaroring circuit, which validates that the Formula 1 activities are assisting to elevate bench for centers that had actually stayed rather inactive for many years. I claim this in a really positive method: if there is no will to spend, function and make tasks with each other, also in the long-term, there will certainly be a danger of shedding Formula 1.
“By completion of this year we will certainly have some essential selections to make due to the fact that we are coming close to some target dates (of agreements with the marketers of numerous Grand Prix) yet in regards to health and wellness we remain in a really favorable duration. Today Formula 1 is certainly one of the most essential showing off system internationally, the World Cup and the Olympics are amazing occasions yet they happen every 4 years, whereas we exist at all times. Today the optimum variety of races that can develop a schedule is 25, and on my component there is the will to preserve it. To surpass that would certainly imply jeopardising the energy we are experiencing, which is qualified by a high recognition of occasions many thanks to the nations that wish to sign up with the schedule.
“With regard to the points system in the world championship rankings, there has been a request from some teams to increase the number of points beyond the tenth position. We are doing some simulations, but as has always happened in the past when the points allocation system has been changed, we have to be very careful about the drawbacks. At first everyone is happy, then over time the criticisms emerge. But I can say that we will not have a system that awards points to all drivers who start.”
Debate around sprint weekend breaks–
Domenicali: “The numbers inform us that individuals like the sprint weekend breaks. We understand that there is likewise a much more reactionary component of the general public that has actually been adhering to Formula 1 for a very long time, and does not especially similar to this style, yet in regards to beauty there is no question that the ‘sprint’ course is the best one. I think that the modification to the style presented this year has actually satisfied the needs of the ‘traditionalists’ by maintaining certifying on Saturday mid-day and opening up the parc ferme after the sprint race. For my component I will certainly wait up until completion of this period to assess the comments, yet I do not believe we will certainly return.
“MotoGP has chosen a radical step, introducing the sprint format on all weekends, while we want to go there gradually, but I am convinced that nowadays a Friday without any official classification loses some of its appeal compared to sprint Fridays, where there is a qualifying session. I repeat, our approach has been cautious to try to understand if the direction was the right one, we have corrected some critical points that have emerged in previous years, and at the end of this season I think there will be a need to evaluate whether to take this direction even more decisively. We will also evaluate the impact that such a choice can have in terms of the budget cap, an issue that MotoGP does not have.”
Red Bull having 2 groups–
Domenicali: “The topic of the Red Bull team’s twin possession has actually been on the table for a couple of months currently, yet I wish to stress immediately that we should not fail to remember the advantages that Red Bull offered Formula 1 with the acquisition and operating of a junior varsity. With respect to selections made in the previous there are no question, Red Bull will certainly continue to be the proprietor of 2 groups, after that they will ultimately choose, whether to preserve possession of both groups. What selections will certainly be made in the future is an additional tale, and because instance it is not specific that no borders will certainly be implemented.
“We know that the more we grow, the more the value of each team’s franchise increases, just as we are aware that a concentration of team ownership, and consequently of votes in the F1 Commission, can be the subject of discussions and constraints. There is also the topic of common parts on the table, i.e. the technical components that teams can now sell and buy. I think this is an aspect to be approached with caution because the balance found today is not bad, we are talking about components that some teams have been buying from others for many years now. There are no signs, from this perspective, that suggest that the current regulations should be changed’.”
Liberty Media purchasing MotoGP–
Domenicali: “Liberty has bought MotoGP, but as we have already said on several occasions, until the proceedings finalised by the antitrust authorities we cannot comment. The only thing I can say is that the two organisations (F1 and MotoGP) will remain separate, then when the proceedings are completed we will see how to approach everything. The aspect that I personally find very positive is to see a group like Liberty, which has a great vision, initially focusing on the Formula 1 platform and then expanding to MotoGP, showing that they believe in the potential of motorsport.”
