Ecclestone meets the FIA ​​and Montezemolo to fight the Formula 1 crisis

Formula 1 must react and find a way to combat the decline in popularity that has hit the Circus. Precisely in Budapest, Bernie Eccclestone met with the teams to discuss in particular how to bring back the appeal of a category from which young people seem to move away year after year.

The 84-year-old's idea would be to create a new working group which would include the main teams of the Circus (Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari and Force India), Ecclestone personally and Flavio Briatore, a name recommended by one of the teams present. Tuttosport reached the Patron of the Circus and when asked about the Cuneo manager's alleged return to the Circus, the 84-year-old remained unbuttoned: "We'll see, we'll see what we can do."

And August will be hot weeks for Ecclestone who, in addition to the meeting with the top teams which took place in the Hungaroring paddock, will also be the protagonist of a meeting on Thursday with the FIA and with Luca di Montezemolo who on more than one occasion has requested a summit to combat the crisis that is affecting the Category. Marco Mattiacci, team principal of the Italian team, will also be present at the meeting and confirmed how the meeting will be useful to take stock of the general situation of Formula 1 and how increase its popularity among the fans. But the last word is always Ecclestone's: "We need to clarify a few things and understand if there is the possibility of changing the regulations." he concluded the 84 year old.
