'Too many street tracks' in F1 now – Montezemolo

Dec.15 (GMM) 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.”
