F1 in crisis: drivers and experts raise the alarm

That the inaugural race of World F1 2015 a Melbourne was not particularly exciting, is a common opinion among fans, professionals and experts of the top category.
Doublet Mercedes, a third place of Sebastian Vettel with the Ferrari, which yes, gives confidence and gives hope for a better season than 2014, but which in any case is not enough to give the image of that formula 1 of a time that we miss so much.

Where are the battles, the real ones, the overtaking, the roar of the engines - and not that of the power units exploding one after the other - the wheel-to-wheel battles - not just between two drivers from the same team - for the world title?
Not to mention certain scenes seen atAlbert Park, certainly not worthy of the highest category of motorsport. There Manor flew to the other end of the world to spend three days in the pits, without even sticking its nose out to test the track, while the Cleanwas indeed the protagonist of a heated battle, but in court, with three drivers competing for just two seats, with Giedo van der Garde first tackled at the entrance to the paddock by security men and then in a suit - stolen from Ericsson – to wander around theAlbert Park in "work" attire despite not having a superlicence.
It's best not to talk about the various breakdowns on the single-seaters before and during the race.

In short, a picture worthy of a catastrophe, rather than a grand opening, with 15 cars at the start of the 20 registered and only 11 at the finish line.
“I didn't like it and I didn't enjoy it,” said the former champion F2 and today commentator for Spanish radio Andy Soukek, certainly sharing the thoughts of many.
“We all knew that the Mercedes would have dominated but we have seen how far away they are Red Bull e McLaren and, even if the Ferrari This year is better than the previous one, not much has changed."

Immediately after the Australian disaster, the solution proposed by Red Bull was to resort to a drastic change in the rules, which at the moment would only favor Mercedes, but the drinkers did not find much support among their Circus colleagues.
“It's sad, we're just at the start of the season and it's already clear how much Mercedes is superior to the others,” commented the driver Force India Sergio Perez.
“It's not a good show for the fans who spend a lot of money to buy the ticket. But it is a situation that we have already seen in the past with the Red Bull“, added the Mexican.

Also of the same opinion Mika Hakkinen: “Of course, in the eyes of many it may seem like one formula 1 boring, but it's certainly not the fault of Mercedes“, ruled the two-time world champion. “They simply managed to build a faster car.”
“It was quite unusual,” continued the Finn, referring to the decimated starting grid and the problems encountered by the various teams. “I think it's due to the cars not being properly tested. The competition could be more balanced if there were more opportunities to test the single-seaters as happened in the past."

Soucek he then returned to the legal matter involving the Clean. “I had a similar problem with the team in the past fisichella in GP2“, confessed the Spaniard. “I recognized myself in Giedo but unfortunately this is the formula 1 of today. Some teams take half the money they need to survive from the drivers."
