F1 Needs To Become More Of A "Spectacle", says Alonso
Only recently Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo spoke out strongly against the current situation in F1, saying it needs to become more of a spectacle, and went to the extent of threatening to boycott F1. Now, it's ace driver Fernando Alonso's turn to speak out.
He was quoted as ‘parroting' Luca di Montezemolo's view that Bernie Eccelstone needs to meet with stakeholders and decide how to make F1 better. He also went on record at a press conference saying that the series needs to provide more ‘spectacle' for the fans.
"I think (di Montezemolo) is right in a way, that the show that we put on this year is not good enough in some of the races," he said.
Fans today believe that the manner in which F1 is constituted today is ‘boring', something Alonso agreed with saying, "We will try to put a better show in the next races and if the teams or the fans or whatever, have any ideas, they will be welcome to have a better show."
There is talk about regressing back to standing starts after a safety car situation, since rolling starts don't provide as much excitement. Also KERS may find its way back to F1, something that Alonso is all for.
"In my opinion KERS should come back to our cars," he said. "We have the electric (boost) but we do not have the extra boost to help in overtaking - now we all use the same energy in the same places, so it is impossible to overtake."
