F1 | Brawn: “I would like to introduce a non-championship GP”

Il championship has not yet begun, the effects and consequences on the track, and therefore official, of the new regulations, of the new single-seaters, of the new organization and management of LibertyMedia. Nothing is yet known about all this and much more, but there are already those who are thinking about the future of Formula 1. Ross Brawn, general manager in charge of overseeing the sporting aspects and right-hand man of Chase Carey, confirmed in an interview for Sky Sports, of wanting to change the format of the competitions.

Naturally there are those who think differently, such as the president of FIA Jean Todt, who says he is against the change to the race program, especially after seeing last year's difficulties with the new continuous elimination qualifying system.

Ross BrawnHowever, he says he is convinced: “When we change the format of the race weekend we will have to be absolutely sure that we choose the right one. I dream of a non-league game once a year, so I can try different formats then. A race not valid for the championship would allow us to vary the format and try something different and improve it. You can't take the risk of changing in a world championship race without hitting the right one.", has explained.

But Brawn's real goal is have level performanceand to see the effects on the track: “To be honest, my goal for 30 years has not been to have close races, rather to compete at a level where no one can beat me. Now, however, I am a poacher who has become a game warden because my priority is to have more competitive races! But we shouldn't get them artificially and we shouldn't penalize a team because they're doing an exceptional job. Some have suggested that if a team is winning, they should have development frozen until the others catch up. The fans would be disillusioned by all this.", continued the sports director.
