Ricciardo: “It would be nice to go back to the old speeds”

Daniel Ricciardo he has no doubts. In 2017, thanks to the new regulatory changes, single-seaters will exceed 1000 horsepower and, as someone once said, males will once again be distinguished from females.

“I think that any rider in any category would be happy to have 50 km/h more available and I'm also referring to MotoGP which is already reaching important peaks – declared the Australian from Red Bull at Autosport – In the end it is normal to aspire for more power because it adds adrenaline which is what drives us to do this job. Such a change could then work in favor of young people and increase the gap between those who put in a certain amount of effort and the others. Personally I would be happy if we could go back to the old cornering speeds. Would be great. In that case we could see the real champions go full throttle and everyone else at least with a more decisive pace."

The team principal also expressed the same opinion Christian horner. “The cars certainly need to be improved given that there is room for intervention – said the English manager – I believe there is a real need for more entertainment, for more complex cars to drive and which highlight the qualities of the individuals. Today, in fact, the differences in performance are minimal, perhaps due to the vehicles being too similar to each other."
