Alex Wurz chats to samcooper_ about all things F1
In a year of missile strikes and near misses, 2022 presented many challenges for the organisation tasked with looking after the drivers’ welfare.
AW: F1 is as strong and healthy as it has ever been, at least as long as I’ve followed and know it. Of course with the growing popularity we will have challenges and new phenomena arising, but the key factors for the growth are obvious. Now I hope that all stakeholders are aware that we should only carefully adjust the sport and its rules, and not feel the need to do something all the time. Indeed clever and well thought true adjustments to sporting and technical rules, weekend formats, ways to deliver the pictures and emotions, fan experiences all needs constant observation and considered adjustments, but not for the sake of it, which was a bit the culture of the last decade.
PF1: What are your thoughts on the ever-expanding calendar and the strain it is going to have on the drivers? So, it is a balancing act between the business needs and the market reaction. Something I see that Liberty and Stefano have a really good handle on. From the GPDA perspective, if their desire is for the long term benefit of the sport and not for short term profit boosts, I believe it is fair and logical to look in to this further. I must say that the GPDA appreciates very highly the job Liberty has done, as we see them doing things for the longer term. Plus they are in permanent exchange with the GPDA to align and debate such matters.
Whilst we all witnessed him quite fiery and perhaps stubborn or maybe very demanding inside the car, outside, with the helmet off ,he is a great guy and an asset to any organisation or task.
