Ecclestone: “The transition to V6 engines is absurd”

Niki Lauda risponde all critiche di ecclestone who after the Jerez tests had exposed all his doubts regarding the new F1.

“These days have been a farce – he told Sportsmail – The FIA ​​and the teams pushed for the V6s, which was totally absurd; if they want a sport like that, they better go to Le Mans! People are looking for something special, noise, but now they hear silence and don't see anyone on the track. Furthermore, there is a lot of talk about saving fuel, but then there are giant motorhomes that travel all over Europe, for example Mercedes has twenty-three of them. If you really want to go in that direction you should do without it."

“I don't understand Bernie's point. It makes no sense – declared the three-time Austrian world champion to Bild – The decision to switch to less powerful engines was made by mutual agreement five years ago”.
