Ecclestone: “When Schumacher won there was more entertainment”

His era only began a couple of seasons ago and yet the now almost obvious Sunday triumph of Mercedes has already bored a good part of the F1 public, as demonstrated among other things by the declining numbers of TV contacts and even more so by the presences in the stands of the racetracks.

Demoralized by the poor spectacle offered by current F1 and amazed by the level of hegemony achieved by the Silver Arrows, he also declared himself Bernie Ecclestone.

"When Michael Schumacher won races and world championships, there was no sense of Ferrari's real dominance, the same goes for Red Bull's four titles – his words to motorsport.com – Today, however, the German single-seaters are so much stronger than the competition that they qualify always both in the front row, and then finishing the one-two."

“In my opinion we should find some workarounds at engine level. On the other hand, as long as we only have the power units, Stuttgart will always have an advantage as it is capable of large investments. I honestly regret the period of the thrusters Cosworth. Everyone could enjoy more or less the same power” – la nostalgia of the Supreme.
