Sean Bratches doesn't contradict Alonso on F1's predictability

In his explanations to justify his desire to leave the F1 end 2018, Fernando Alonso avait notamment indiqué en marge des 6 Heures de Silverstone, disputées avec le Toyota Gazoo Racing le week-end dernier, que les joutes de la catégorie reine offraient une « action en piste loin d’être spectaculaire. » et que les saisons étaient bien souvent écrites dès les essais hivernaux.

A predictable character which therefore played a role in the choice of Fernando Alonso, and which also seems understood by the management of the discipline, as confessed by Sean Bratches, commercial director of F1, during an intervention at Black Book Motorsport Forum organized in London, England.

“It is possible that Formula One will be less predictable and I think it is important that we achieve this, specifies Bratches, cited by Reuters. Since 2015, only three teams have won a grand prize. So it's pretty predictable. I think he (Fernando Alonso) is right and we have a plan to resolve this. »

The governing bodies have in fact been working for several weeks to come up with various solutions to improve the spectacle on the track. 2019 should notably see the introduction of new front wings, designed to make overtaking easier.

The next technical regulations, expected for 2021, should also have an important role in the evolution of on-track clashes.
