Ex-F1 racer David Coulthard says the fans need better than the disconnected relationship between F1 teams, Liberty Media and the FIA.
David Coulthard, the former McLaren and Red Bull veteran who is now a leading man on Channel 4’s coverage of F1, believes that the teams, the governing body the FIA, and the sport’s owners Liberty Media, all need to work better together for the betterment of the sport.
This was followed by Max Verstappen winning the race and, due to a post-race penalty being applied to Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, wrapping up the title. However, no one seemed to be actually aware of the possibility this could happen, as even the World Champion’s team were unaware of a, despite only just over half the race distance being completed.
“We are in the entertainment business. Last week, we knowingly sat waiting for the tide to go out before the boat was launched – we knew the rain was coming – that was a little bit silly. “F1 has taken a step forward with the new regulations. The drivers are able to run more closely together – we are seeing better racing,” he said.
The Scot made the point that the way F1 has gone, fans are no longer able to safely assume that the result they see at the chequered flag will be the actual confirmed result – a weakness he says that needs to be addressed.
