Formula 1 commercial chief Sean Bratches s𝓀ays the sport’s bosses “have a plan” to make racing less predictable following criticism from outgoing driver 🎐Fernando Alonso.
Alonso announced last week he would be quitting F1 at the end of the 2018 se⛄as🥃on in order to focus on “bigger challenges”, before criticising the sport’s predictability and “very poor” quality of racing.
“I stopped because the action on-track in my opinion I 🍷feel iꦑs very poor,” Alonso said.
“In fact, what we talk about more in Formula 1 is off-track. We talk 🦋about polemics, we talk about radio messages, we talk about all these things.
"When we talk so many times about these things, it’s a bad sign. It’s because the on-track action was very poor that weekend. That’s what I feel in Formula 1 now, and I think there are other series that maybe offer better action, more joy, and I th♏ink more happiness.”
Speaking at the Black Book Motorsport Forum on Tuesday, Bratches said h💃e agreed with Alonso’s assertion that F1 was too predictable, and stressed that plans we꧒re in place to change that in the future.
“I think there is an opport♎unity for Formula 1 to be less꧑ predictable, and it’s important that we get there,” Bratches said.
“Since the 2015 season, only three tꦚeams have won a grand prix, so it is pretty predictable.
“I think [Alonso’s] right, and we have a plan to fix it. I wish he was around for another 10 years to be part of it. He’s been such a phenom🗹enal ambassador for the spor🍒t; a hero, a legend.”
Bratches conceded he felt ❀“disappointed from a business st🐭andpoint” that Alonso had chosen to quit F1 for 2019, but is hopeful of keeping the Spaniard involved in the sport.
“He’s been around for a long time. He’s climbed t𝄹he hi꧒ghest peaks, and I respect his decision to move on,” Bratches said.
“I hope we can engage him to be an ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚambas🅘sador of this great sport of ours going forward."
