Click to enlargeBernie Ecclestone wants radical changes to spice up the
action in Formula 1.
This year's world championship has been dominated by Michael Schumacher
and Ferrari from start-to-finish. The level of the German's dominance has
been such that on-track drama has been in short supply.
Ecclestone and the team bosses are worried that the lack of overtaking
and racing at the front of the field is proving a turn off for F1 fans
all over the world. And evidence is emerging that Ferrari's dominace is
beginning to erode F1's TV viewing figures.
The F1 supremo knows better than anyone that the entertainment factor
needs improving if the sport is to maintain its incredible commercial
success.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with ITV-F1's Jim Rosenthal to be
screened tomorrow, Ecclestone outlined some of the changes he would like
introduced to make F1 more entertaining.
He said: "We have to shape up, we have not got a very act at the moment."
Ecclstone reckons the only way to change the processional nature of
racing is to ban electronic driver aids, reduce aerodynamic downforce
and, perhaps most controversially of all, for the teams to use a single
tyre supplier.
The former Brabham team boss reckons that driver aids such as traction
control and automatic gearchanges are contributing to the processional
nature of some races. He said that Ferrari's recent cruise to a 1-2
finish in the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa "was reduced to a straightforward
drive to the shops."
Electronic driver aids like traction control were banned at the end of
the 1993 season but they were re-introduced last year as they became
increasingly difficult to police. His will be the key issue in any effort
to ban them and place more emphasis on driver skill.

Ciao, Muttley

 to ban them and place more emphasis on driver skill.
Diciamo che finche' non vedo non credo, ma almeno e' gia' un elemento
positivo che si siano accorti che adesso come adesso le cose non vanno. E
non tiriamo fuori i Grandi Costruttori : se il pubblico cala, cala anche
chi vede la loro partecipazione come pubblicita'....

Forse (probabilmente) non succederą nulla ma come si suol dire "il re
č nudo". Nelle ultime settimane, a torto o a ragione, la principale
discussione nel mondo della Formula Uno č stata "cosa c'č che non va
nella F1".

Forse non succedera' nulla, effettivamente pero' e' anche la prima volta
che uno dei due re della F.1, e segnatamente quello piu' importante
perche' gestisce i soldini, dice che le cose non vanno poi cosi' bene come
ci si ostina(va) a sostenere finora.
