The "rabbit hole" that F1 needed to stay out of
OPINION: Formula 1 is undoubtedly aware of what is at stake with the new regulations having laid out a promise of a brighter future and a more competitive grid. But, as Ross Brawn has made clear, sticking to its previous path would have only caused long-term pain despite an enthralling 2021 campaign
After what was perhaps the most unpredictable of twists at the end of a most epic 2021 season, Formula 1 was always going to have a tough time coming up with a decent encore. The chances of the championship being able to repeat a world title fight, decided in questionable circumstances with an overtake on the final lap of the final race that swung the world title, were always incredibly slim.
But as F1 embraces a new rules era, the hope is for an improved and competitive grid – where the cars can race each other better, the field spread is much closer and there is a bigger variety of teams and drivers winning.
