David Terrien: Avoiding unhappy endings in F1 seriously is impossibleĭepending on which driver and which team you are supporting, you will always see any result from a biased point of view and if the result is not leaning your way, then you will struggle to have a fair and realistic point of view and for sure you won’t be happy.īut F1 became popular, popular in its original meaning of addressing a wider crowd, and F1 did well on this aspect by creating more attractive races together with a great Netflix Series. Slow down, address what can be addressed first before we start fixing things for the sake of fixing. Race control was one lap, perhaps even two from being ready to restart. 12 minutes and 12 seconds was the duration between the initial safety car deployment and Max crossing the finish line to end the race, unacceptable.Įven worse, the restart procedure wasn’t complete. The other is one all F1 fans already complain about, volunteer corner workers. ![]() When was the last time a car was parked in a location where a track side crane was able to lift it off the circuit in short order? Perhaps stopping zones can be better identified giving a driver a reasonable location target in which to leave a car. No conspiracy theory here, it is simply becoming more common. One of which is what appears to be a normalizing of cars being left on the circuit, this needs a look. ![]() To be clear, there are other matters that need attention. These are the types of disasters series sign themselves up for when they try to fix things that don’t need fixing. Ind圜ar too had a blunder this year during qualifying at the Toronto Indy when a late Red Flag persuaded Ind圜ar officials to extend qualifying by one lap only for that one extra lap to be interrupted by another Red Flag. The 2022 Nascar Xfinity Daytona Wawa 250 required over 42 impossible minutes to complete the final three laps and still ended under a full course caution. ![]() Do nothing to fix the possibility of a Safety Car ending the race, just let it be especially if doing something is rooted purely in entertainment value. My recommendation goes against that climb do nothing. It is the ultimate sadness as a racing enthusiast.į1 is on that rollercoaster climb, and the only way for the climb to continue is to feed the monster that it’s becoming. When the masses lose interest and move on, what’s left is a series that’s “fubar” with core fans clinging onto whatever nostalgia has survived. Unfortunately racing doesn’t always go to plan as was the case in the closing stages and eventual ending of the Italian Grand Prix which took place behind the Safety Car.Ī lesson F1 can benefit from in learning primarily from NASCAR is that the result of fixing every perceived issue ends with a series that has fixed itself into oblivion.
