F1 has been done few favours by a couple of factors this season, according to Martin Brundle.
F1 racer turned pundit Martin Brundle believes escalating downforce levels and the cost cap are doing the quality of the F1 2023 show few favours.
And indeed, Brundle believes this and perhaps the decision to raise the floor edges for F1 2023, in a bid to combat the bouncing phenomenon that is porpoising, is combining to mean that F1’s key objective for these regulations is “beginning to fade away”. Mercedes and Ferrari are believed to be preparing major upgrades as they look to close the gap, though Brundle pointed out that the cap on what teams can spend may mean that such teams now must wait until next season to fully undo the damage of getting their “fundamental packages wrong”.
“Obviously, if you have accidents, Alpine have had a shocking run in terms of lots of broken parts and Charles Leclerc is having a good go at dismantling his Ferrari as well from time to time, but I think it’s the cost cap that’s making the bigger difference. But part of that is going to so many races as well.
Therefore, he believes things must be kept in “perspective” when complaints are made over the entertainment levels of Formula 1 racing right now. That being said, Brundle’s Sky F1 colleague Karun Chandhok argues competition for Red Bull is “key” if some brilliant F1 action is to come our way during the remainder of the season.
