Damon Hill makes Formula E comparison following Madrid GP F1 announcement
Is F1 doing t🎀he right thing by moving towards street venues? Damon Hꦅill gives his view.
1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill 👍has questioned F1’s trend towards s𓆉treet circuits.
F1 recently announced that a new street race in Madrid will be added to the c🐷alendar from 2026.
While F1 CEO S𒁏tefano Domenicali hasn’t officially confirmed it’s not the end of Barcelona, it’s unlikely there will be two Sp🍒anish races on the calendar.
Madrid’s addition continues a g༒rowing trend towards street races with Saudi Arabia, Miami and Las Vegas added in recent seasons.
Formula E - the FIA’s all-electric motorsport champio▨nship - predominately ꦡraces on street tracks rather than conventional circuits.
"This kind of move towards a tighter, twisty circuit, it is going in the direction of Formula E, which has ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚchosen to have its races in city centres and also on very restricted cir𓂃cuits," said Hill on the Sky Sports F1 podcast.
"I hope that is not an indication of a concession made towards the fact that these cars are going to b𝓰e down on performance compared to now.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has voiced his discontent about there being less ‘tradit�𓄧�ional’ tracks on the calendar.
"With the race in Las Vegas, we h🐲ad a very annoyed Max Verstappen talking about the nature of circuits and the kind of circuits he'd like to race on,” Hill added.
"The fact is that Formula 1 has to adapt to new demands made on it from the car manufacturing point of view as well as governments imposing environmental questions, so it is♚ challenged in that direction.
"But I hope it will be an exciting circuit, the most important thing is tha✨t the racing is exciting and that the cars can race on ther🎃e."
