FÓRMULA-1

LIBERTY MEDIA FORCE OUT OF FERRARI
In the past we saw the F-1 more exciting, vibrant ... who does not remember the cars of Mansel and Senna flashing real fire-that was a sight to behold. The unmistakable snort of the V10 engines wasting power on the straight, it was exciting to hear that noise that fascinated many fans of this sport.Today with a flurry of regulations, regulations and guidelines, F-1 is very different from the one it was once, of course we have to take into account that automotive engineering is evolving in stride - today the V6 engine, which is currently used, may have even stronger than the famous V10 of the past-but even with all that evolution F-1 seems to be losing the 'grace' it had in the past.
Before in the days of Senna, Mansel, Schumacker and Villeneuve, for example, things were  different-when the cars touched their floors on the asphalt they released those unmistakable flashes of spark in the air-it was a show.

The present moment is no longer the same-what is happening? It seems that Liberty Media (current holder of the rights of the F-1) wants to transform the main category of European motorsport in the Formula-E; only now as an elite category, scratching the Formula-1 map.
Many complaints to the current model of management of Liberty Media are commonplace today mainly by pilots and bigwigs like Sergio Marchionne and Helmut Marko.During the week the specialized press boasted the news that Ferrari will be out of the F-1 in 2021, the president of Maranello's team Sergio Marchionne even said in a meeting: "Reducing team expenses is a great goal. But there are some points with which we do not agree. As for example losing independence in the assembly of the engine. I do not want to continue if I do ... '' We see the sport taking a different path, so we are thinking about making some decisions. I need them to show me how that will be good for us. If there are no benefits to our brand, we are out ... "These words of the Italian team's agent shows a total discontent that is behind the scenes of the paddock, it is worth remembering that Mercedes, Renault and Red Bull were also dissatisfied with this current model of management of the category. The funny thing about it is that some automakers who are looking to join F-1 in the future are enjoying these controversial measures.The fact is that Formula 1 of the past misses a lot, and now with these latest events this longing is more evident for many fans of the sport.
