Domenicali exclusive - What does F1’s future look like? https://lnkd.in/dpXbwCUm If the 2024 season has taught F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali one key lesson, it is that it is impossible to predict with any certainty how things are going to turn out. While many were talking back in March of Max Verstappen potentially winning all the races this year after his dominant start in Bahrain, it did not turn out that way at all. In fact, with seven different winners from the first half of the season, something that has not happened since that crazy start to 2012, the stage is set for a wide-open battle for victories – and the constructors’ championship at least - after the summer break. Domenicali never joined the doom-mongers at the start of the year, as he was always convinced that the combination of the cost cap and aerodynamic testing restrictions would eventually serve to close things up. Speaking in a wide-ranging interview with Motorsport.com to discuss the state of F1, Domenicali explains why he thinks there is a great opportunity now for grand prix racing to continue riding the wave of popularity that erupted following the Liberty Media takeover. (...) He has always been open-minded about things; aware that what is viewed right today may not be true for tomorrow. So just as Verstappen’s dominance was not set in stone from the off, so too must F1’s longer-term future be viewed as an ever-evolving thing.

#Monaco is over and Formula 1 now has its 4th race winner of the year as Charles Leclerc takes his first victory since the Formula 1® Australian Grand Prixin 2022 and now F1 is back in #NorthAmerica for the FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DU CANADA which means that once again it is time for my preview and predictions, can Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology bounce back and once again claim victory after losing last time out or will Charles Leclerc and Ferrari make it two wins in a row, also Mclaren will be looking to continue their fine form with both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, Carlos Sainz in the other Ferrari will be looking to bounce back after a couple of tricky races. Sergio Perez in the Red Bull will be looking for a better race after crashing out at the start of the Monaco GP. For Mercedes-AMG GmbH they are all alone as the 4th fastest team as Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are ahead of the cars behind but a long way off of the cars that are ahead of them such as Aston Martin who will be looking to get back in the points with Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll as they have been struggling now for a couple of races and they are coming under pressure from Yuki Tsunoda in the VCARB.
