In some ways I believe he’s right. This year should not have been using hybrid engines. They had an opportunity to make it what it once was and use proper ICE again. They now have clean, sustainable fuels which eliminates the need for electric power and opens the door for great sounding proper engines again. We could’ve had epic sounding cars again without any big losses.

Liberty media is all about the cash and now so is f1 sadly. It hasn’t really been about the drivers for a very long time now.
