‘F1 has made every track boring’ claims Bourdais

Former Formula 1 driver Sebastien Bourdais says the sports overly complicated safety rules have made every track on the calendar “boring” and “vanilla”.

The Frenchman, who drove for Toro Rosso in 2008 and 2009, now races in IndyCar where he has proved to be successful, winning two races, most recently last weekend in Detroit.

“It’s challenging [racing] on concrete. Driving in the rain at Detroit, it’s tougher than any Formula 1 track, including the streets of Monaco,” he told the Detroit Free Press.

“F1 has ruined every track. They have taken the character out of them, made them vanilla. It hurts me. Monaco is now a friggin’ parking lot with a couple of turns.”

He claims IndyCar is not only better because the circuits are tougher, but because the racing is better as their is less focus on making money and more on pure racing.

“Too much in Formula 1 is all about the wrong reasons,” Bourdais added. “Money and position – it is not about the racing.

“In IndyCar, no one makes money. It’s just great, pure racing.”
