FIA president Jean Todt has been the greatest supporter of the hybrid turbo era in Formula 1 and, despite three years in which Mercedes have totally dominated, he remains an ardent fan of the series as it is right now.
Todt told media at the SPOBIS convention in Dusseldorf, “I think Formula 1 is already great. The sport must be unpredictable, and the title fight (in 2016) went to the last corner.”
“I’m sure Liberty Media will give us different insights for other forms of communication that are likely to bring new fans to Formula 1.”
Todt argues that dominance in Formula 1 is the way of sport, “At the moment it is Mercedes, but before it was Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren and Williams, which also happens in other sports like athletics and football.
“So we should congratulate Mercedes for its successes and hope the others work even better now,” he added.
With regards to the big changes in rules in 2017, Todt said, “Expectations are high, but we will have to wait for the first race.”
