'If there are too many racers that are winning, then you are not able to beat the legend.'
Max Verstappen was forced to settle for P2 in Miami - a rare occurrence for him in the ground effect era of Formula 1.
The Formula 1 CEO was asked why the sport has not intervened to try and level the playing field, with– in Verstappen’s hands in particular – having held a vice-like grip over the top step of the podium in recent years. “That’s not the objective of the sport. And by the way, in all the sport Formula 1 has lived with cycles, where we had the great racers who won for many years, one behind the others.“And this is not the factor that is not attracting people, because there is also the fact that if there are too many racers that are winning, then you are not able to beat the legend.
When it was put to him that Verstappen’s near-monopoly over the P1 spot has made the sport ‘boring’ for some fans, Domenicali was not convinced when taking a wider view.
