“There are many things wrong in the sport and we raise [our] voice sometimes. But hopefully someone [will] listen.”
Fernando Alonso believes the limited track time available for rookies is severely hurting their Formula 1 opportunities and desperately hopes “someone will listen” and address this.
The F1 grid is unchanged between the end of 2023 and the start of 2024, a very rare occurrence yet reflective of the times, but rookies like Liam Lawson and Oliver Bearman have shown in that time that F1 debutants can be trusted to come in and perform. “It will be good to see a little bit more testing happening and there are a couple of the big teams that they can afford to run an old car and set a programme like maybe for F2 drivers,” said Alonso, as per RacingNews365.com.
“They are so stressed already with the budget cap and all the personnel that travel and around the world for these 24 races that I think it is quite impossible to set up a test team like in the past to really prepare a young driver.
