F1 in Search of Red Bull Rivals
This season, Formula 1 offered great entertainment in terms of scenarios and dream locations, with the debut of the Las Vegas race as the headline of a season that certainly did not excite in terms of the title fight.
On the track, we witnessed the most dominant car in history, the Red Bull RB19, capable of winning the extraordinary number of 21 out of 22 scheduled races: impossible for rivals to keep up with the Austrian car produced in Milton Keynes. Inevitably, there was a decline in the interest of TV viewers worldwide, and Formula 1’s hope is to find a title fight that can excite fans.
Flavio Briatore and Formula 1
Flavio Briatore was a guest at the Caschi d’Oro and Volanti ACI ceremony and gave an interview to Autosprint, the event’s sponsoring publication. The Italian manager was asked about the Red Bull dominance, complimenting Christian Horner‘s team: “They deserve it; the team is very strong, and Max Verstappen makes no mistakes. The driver is extraordinary, and the combination of Max with the car is fantastic. If we think that Sergio Perez has the same car, you can see the difference with Max, who is doing extraordinary things. Unfortunately, he killed the championship because from the very first races, it was clear they would win. I hope that next year there will be a bit more competition because otherwise, it wouldn’t be very nice. People need to see who is competing for the title, not such a strong domination.” – the former Renault team principal explained.
He also looked at Ferrari, the just-concluded season, and the Maranello team’s hopes for the 2024 Formula 1 campaign: “Their championship was a mixed bag. They had races where they were competitive in qualifying but much less so with a full tank of fuel. They lagged behind; it’s a yellow card. We have to hope for improvement this winter to be more competitive. I hope for all Italians and for the sport that Ferrari manages to be at least competitive; winning the championship is complicated. Ferrari should fight for at least a podium in every race. Fred Vasseur? I hope a Frenchman makes Ferrari win, like I made the French win.” – he concluded.
