Although there are many covers motorsport media worldwide reported on financial difficulties of Formula 1 teams, but these are not the only ones struggling to survive. Also Formula 2 in Formula 3 they also suffered a severe blow, and their seasons were also stopped due to coronavirus.
There is fearto be able in both series due to the financial crisis lost quite a few teams. Although it is Formula 1 take remedial action, however Formula 2 in Formula 3 they did not follow suit. “This season will be a real nightmare,”Is Alessi told colleagues from Sky Sports. "We talked about the budget ceiling, but nothing was agreed for Formula 2. They haven’t changed the price of the fees, actually nothing, so I’m sure a lot of racers won’t finish this season. For Formula 2 racers, this season will be a real disaster."
Alessi has supported calls to reduce the cost of racing, especially at the local level. Toto wolff, team boss Mercedes Benz, recently revealed that the cost of racing is unimaginable and only for people with large wallets. “Racing in the initial stage and lower series must become more accessible than it is today," so Austrian. "Paying £ 100.000 for a 12-year-old to race in a proper championship is simply unimaginable for most families. We need to work on a scheme where we could have a lot of kids who can try their hand at karting, compete in the right gear, and end up making their way even to Formula 1."
Alessi agrees with Wolff and reveals that he had to sell his sports car Ferrari F40that he helped fund his son’s career Giuliana. "I’m a former Formula 1 racer, I have good ties, but I had to sell my Ferrari F40 to put together a budget for my son to be able to compete in Formula 2. Why? Because it is very difficult, if not impossible, to find a sponsor. The cost is too high and obviously no one wants to change anything," so Alessi, which adds: "To have a Ferrari F40 in the garage or to see your son racing is no comparison here. I prefer his racing and for the F40 I’m too old to drive it."
