Manifesto

We stand on the edge of a new Formula 1 season.
Normally, this would be a moment of excitement, especially after the long pause brought by the global pandemic. But instead of hope, what I see is decline.
Formula 1, once the pinnacle of motorsport and innovation, feels less like it’s beginning anew and more like it’s approaching its end.

Manufacturers are leaving, ture fans are disappointed and tuning out, replaced by occasional who follow trends.
Costs are astronomical while testing and development are restricted.
Races are dressed up with DRS, penalties, and complex tyre rules instead of authentic competition.
Championships are devalued when outcomes feel manufactured rather than earned.
The grid is kept alive by billionaires treating teams as vanity projects.

The result? A hollow spectacle. Crowds may see overtakes, but few remember them. True racing moments, the kind that live in memory for decades, are rare, because the essence of the sport is being lost.

Formula 1 is not meant to be a shpw. Its DNA is:

• Innovation: pushing the limits of technology.
• Pure competition: the fastest and most reliable car and driver win.
• Inspiration: moments of brilliance that define generations.

Technology is not the problem—it’s the point.
Formula 1 has become obsessed with entertainment at all costs. But entertainment without authenticity is meaningless. Crowning a world champion in a sport that has lost its essence cheapens the very title.

Think about it: Who remembers the winner of China 2016, the race with the most overtakes in history? Yet Dijon 1979, Donington 1993, Spa 2000—moments where drivers and machines pushed the limits of what was possible—live forever in our memories. Chaos does not equal drama.

This is not about nostalgia. I’m not calling for manual gearboxes or banning telemetry. Technology is not the enemy—it is Formula 1’s greatest strength.
Overtakes and flashy battles are just the visible tip of the iceberg.
Beneath lies the essence: engineering brilliance, human courage, and the relentless pursuit of speed.
That is what must be preserved and reignited.

Formula 1 cannot survive on expedients and gimmicks.
What we need is a vision for a sport that is:

• Competitive: Where new teams can join, innovate, and win.
• Technologically bold: Pioneering solutions for both sport and society.
• Socially and environmentally conscious: Proving that sustainability and speed can coexist.

On these pages, I will explore the deep issues holding Formula 1 back and propose ideas to make it not only exciting again, but meaningful, where racing inspires innovation, where champions earn their titles, and where the sport’s impact is aligned with the world’s future.

Formula 1 has always been about imagination: designing better cars, smarter strategies, braver performances.
Let’s use that same imagination now to design better rules, better competition, and a better future.
