Stefano Domenicali congratulates Red Bull and Verstappen

This year, both the Drivers' and Constructors' World Championship titles were won earlier in the season than last year. According to Stefano Domenicali, this phenomenon does not take away the suspense inherent in the premier discipline, and he underlines the progress made by Max Verstappen and Red Bull this season.

The 2022 season did not manage to keep fans on the edge of their seats until the last race like in 2021. Indeed, the fight for the world titles was not as intense as last season, as the driver’s championship was awarded in Suzuka, four Grand Prix before the end of the championship, and the constructor’s title was won in the next race in Austin.

However, this is not a disaster for Formula 1, which continues to attract more and more fans. This phenomenon is not a threat to the discipline, it does not harm the economic aspect of the sport. The F1 sports director highlights the fact that the Mexican Grand Prix was sold out.

Despite Red Bull and Verstappen’s significant dominance in the championships, Stefano Domenicali is happy with the new technical regulations introduced this season and congratulates the Austrian team and the double Dutch World Champion for their progress.

We have seen many clashes this year. This wheel-to-wheel racing is what we were hoping to achieve with this new regulation.

I think we must first recognize that Red Bull and Max Verstappen have done an incredible job. Perhaps another team also failed to seize the right opportunity.

If there are no longer any stakes for the world titles in these last two Grand Prix, the Italian thinks that the suspense is still present with important positions in the world constructor championship that will be played out until the final moments.

The final races will attract a lot of attention in terms of sports. There is a battle between the teams, and they are playing on the financial situation and the financial rewards according to their final position in the championship. So, I think there will be a lot of interest in Brazil and Abu Dhabi.

The sports director of Formula 1 believes he will be able to witness a more competitive season in 2023. « I am completely confident that next year, the fight for the title will last until the end of the season. »
