F1 | Brawn: “Formula 1 will always survive, regardless of Ferrari”

During the long interview granted in recent days to Sky Sports, Ross Brawn could not refrain from the burning questions regarding the farewell threats to the Circus of Ferrari. In fact, as has been known for several months, the 2021 engine regulations have become a source of conflict between Sergio Marchionne, number one of the Cavallino, e Liberty Medium: “What they claim is that there are gods important elements of F1 to be preserved, and I think we agree on this point. They are part of the DNA of Formula 1, which we don't want to lose, as long as the circumstances are right." explained the sports manager of the Formula 1 project. “There are limits that we think need to be corrected for this sport and we hope that they can work within these limits. Formula 1 will always survive, regardless of which teams race in it. It has already happened to us in the past that world champions have retired, other times we have experienced tragedies, but sport has always recovered and continued. And it will continue, regardless of my presence, that of Liberty and even Ferrari.".

The objective, therefore, is to compromise, but only to the extent possible: “We will have to find solutions with them, but this will have to happen based on the right parameters. We can't put ourselves in a situation where we're willing to make any compromise that a team wants, whether it's the Ferrariand Mercedesand Renault and so on. We cannot run a sport according to the will of just one team" – concluded the general director of Liberty Media.
