Montezemolo Revs Up Debate: 'Too Many Street Tracks' in F1
Dec.15 - There are now "too many street circuits" in Formula 1, Ferrari's famous former president Luca di Montezemolo insists.
It is rumoured the Liberty Media-run sport is poised to add a new urban venue to the calendar in Madrid, which would sit alongside similar street venues in Jeddah, Baku, Miami, Las Vegas and others.
"I'm passionate about everything about Formula 1, except that there are too many street circuits," Montezemolo, 76, is quoted by Corriere dello Sport newspaper.
"In any case, I see F1 as interesting and unpredictable, despite this season being dominated by (Max) Verstappen. But when Ferrari won, they changed the rules every year to make everything more interesting."

I completely agree with Luca. There are too many street circuits.
Street circuits cause a great disruption to all the people living in the location where the street race takes place, whether or not they are a fan of F1. Street closures, inability to leave your house and transport disruptions are all a factor. However, Liberty couldn't give a stuff, their only interest is making more money, not interested in the welfare of residents held hostage while Liberty makes money at their expense. Wouldn't it be great to hold a street race in the neighbourhood of the decision makers at Liberty, to subject them to the same disturbances they bring to other neighbourhoods around the world.
Couldn't agree more. The Vegas event, especially, was a fiasco from start to finish.
