[Rassegna stampa] – On a Sunday characterized by extreme tension and spectacle on the track, by accidents and controversies, and by a rivalry that enters the history of this sport more and more every day, it was above all the ‘regulators’ of the game who were defeated. Race direction and the FIA yesterday in Jeddah were caught unprepared by the level of tension that the Mercedes-Red Bull duel reached. The result of all this was a shower of penalties and investigations that left everyone unhappy. Our director, Mauro Coppini, from the columns of Corriere dello Sport, expressed his opinion on what took place in Saudi Arabia. A duel between ‘masters’ that is now beyond any control.
“Men against: protagonist of a war that knows no rules, where loyalty and betrayal exchange roles. […] Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are not fighting for the podium but for a supremacy that smacks of overwhelm. […] Hamilton and Verstappen are the hosts. And like all bosses they are unwilling to delegate. […] the duel of Jeddah has thrown the entire system of a Formula 1 into crisis which for some time has seemed more committed to managing the characteristics of cars than to cultivating the feelings of the champions who, as men, seek victory even at the cost of putting part of the reason. And so you understand that in the face of the confrontation between Hamilton and Verstappen, the FIA loses control of the situation. […] With an infinite series of contradictions that transform one of the most beautiful races in the history of Formula 1 into a condominium dispute. […] from a technical and spectacular point of view, the Jeddah track can be considered the first track perfectly aligned with modern Formula 1 […]. An exaltation of speed that only enhances the contrast between F1 and those who manage it “.
