Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso has openly criticized the evolution of modern Formula 1, claiming the sport has compromised a decade of high-quality racing.
The veteran driver expressed frustration over current aerodynamic and technical regulations, arguing that pure wheel-to-wheel battles have largely disappeared from the grid.
According to the seasoned racer, contemporary overtaking maneuvers have degraded into defensive tracking and crash-avoidance tactics rather than genuine displays of driving skill.
Technical strategies and heavy reliance on specific overtaking zones mean drivers frequently avoid risky maneuvers, prioritizing tire management over aggressive track positioning.
The outspoken remarks add serious weight to the ongoing debate among performance engineers regarding the future direction of grand prix car design.
