New Formula 1 is… different
There’s a lot to take in from Melbourne. One thing is clear: drivers are not the biggest fans of this new Formula 1. And it isn’t too difficult to understand why – they made their point clear in the media. It’s way too complicated, “unnatural” and counter-intuitive – and in some ways indeed reminds of Formula E. Some of the onboard footage, seeing how the cars decelerate at the end of the straights, is uncomfortable to watch for traditionalist fans, and the debate about whether F1 has gone a bit too far with the complexity of these rules is unlikely to stop anytime soon.
