Prost: “F1 engines must make noise again”

Contrary to those who claim that F1 has become child's play for Alain Prost It is the extreme complexity of modern single-seaters that has alienated the general public who once filled the stands and achieved record figures on TV.

“Maybe these cars are too difficult and sophisticated – declared the Professor to Servus TV – In the past everything was different. Now the kids have to deal with a thousand things at the same time. From a performance point of view, I believe that technology has not made the drivers' task any easier in terms of extracting the full potential from the car."

“In my opinion, some details should still be reviewed – he continued – Not at the engine level because technically the power units are fantastic, but first of all remove the fuel limits and then go back to the old noise. On the other hand, for people it is synonymous with speed”.
