Lance Stroll on fire
Probably on Miami Thursday the most critical voice towards the Formula 1 regulations, despite the changes made in April, was that of Lance Stroll.
The Aston Martin driver expressed all his frustration towards the new generation of single-seaters, comparing them with those of the early 2000s, but also with the F3 – which he did not hesitate to define “more fun” than the current F1.

One of his statements, among many yesterday, is worth highlighting because it concerns the interviews given by his fellow drivers in recent weeks: “If in two or three years I will be on the couch watching two green cars (the Aston Martins, ed.) ahead of everyone and I won’t be there, it will bother me. So I hope to be there and in the meantime the cars become better and more fun to drive. This would please all drivers, not just me. Only some can say it, while others cannot, because of contracts and things like that.”

Domenicali’s reminder
In recent days, in the long interview given to The Race, the F1 president Stefano Domenicali had precisely spoken about the criticisms towards the regulations: “I am not the type to use the microphone to talk about things that need to be improved, because I think it is wrong. I think the right way to do things is like in a good family, where you shout inside the house and not outside, because it makes no sense and is useless. If there are things I think need to be changed, you will never see me use this microphone or you journalists as spokespersons for what I think needs to be improved“, and again: “I believe there has been too much attention on the critical comments of certain drivers. But we have learned, these kinds of things should have been handled differently. Not because they shouldn’t speak, but because there are also many positive elements”.
