Ferrari in the series IndyCar? Red Bull v Le Mans? President of the FIA Jean Todt it would make me very happy. The Frenchman is in conversation with colleagues from Corriere della Sera explained that he would welcome a top team Formula 1 decided to engage in other racing series.
"It would remind me of my youth. Back then, racers performed everywhere. Jim Vlark and Jochen Rindt competed in various categories. We had one-off matches like Ford against Ferrari at Le Mans. Just a week later, however, the same protagonists reappeared in Formula 1," so Dead. At that time we were in motorsports had exceptional racers, he explains French and mention here Mike Parkes as an engineer and racer, John Surtees as a world champion on two and four wheels and Stirling Moss, which has been active in a series of touring and sports cars and formulas.
Will she follow now the renaissance of those timesif manufacturers will be in Formulas 1 decided on further projects? “I would be very happy about that. Especially if Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull participated in the Le Mans race with their Hypercars,” he says Dead, who is always constructive and optimistic in this regard. And the situation is right now manufacturers very difficult, for at the latest coronavirus crisis showed how big the teams became Formula 1 and the same goes for budgets. “What did it take to spend half a billion dollars a year? For nothing. And it wasn’t healthy for sports either."
Top teams like Ferrari, Mercedes in Red Bull they must now shrink to healthy level, also due to the adopted budget ceiling. “There will be adjustments in team staff, as is the case in all economic areas,”To me Dead and adds: "We had to adapt Formula 1 to the new situation. Because it was a question of survival."
