The Formula 1 season is over and the year is drawing to a close – time to take stock. Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali also looks back and assesses this year’s world championship.
The Formula 1 season gave us plenty of excitement, action and material for discussion. Not only the top fight between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris and the battle for the title of constructors, which eventually McLaren and Ferrari fought until the last fight of the year, provided the best entertainment.
What was happening along the track was also a source of constant debate for fans and experts. Even before the start of the signal, Lewis Hamilton surprised the entire Formula 1 community by announcing that he would leave the Mercedes team and head for Ferrari.
And McLaren’s consistent policy also led to frequent discussions, such as the verbal exchange of blows that Verstappen and George Russell recently had.
This is also the opinion of the CEO of Formula 1, Stefano Domenicali, who was persuaded by his colleagues from “Sky Italia” to give this year’s World Cup a grade when he attended the “Caschi d’Oro” awards ceremony given by his colleagues from ” Autosprint » he visited.
“As for the season, I would rate it an 8 out of 10,” explained the former Ferrari team boss. “But I think next year could be even better because all the ingredients are in place for a big show. We’ll also have a lot of young riders on the track, and that shows how well things are going for our sport at the moment.
