Jarno Trulli not happy with too many changes in the sport
The Formula One veteran, Jarno Trulli, expressed his concern over the ever-changing nature of the sport. While talking to the media earlier today, he said that FIA had made too many changes in the regulations over the past few years and yet another set of
modifications is ready for the 2011 season.
The Italian driver told the reporters that the upcoming season is going to surprise the race fans as well as the team drivers in a number of ways. “There are too many new things, from aerodynamics to tyres to KERS,” the driver said.
As the exhilarating 2010 season came to an end, FIA announced a number of changes in the sport for the upcoming season. Some of them are very significant and will be making a huge difference in the sport. The most noticeable is the return of the Pirelli
tyres after several years. The prior rubber supplying company, Bridgestone announced last year that it won’t be renewing its contract with the sport, which ended in 2010. This gave way to the Italian tyre manufacturer, Pirelli to re-enter the grids of Formula
One.
The other very enormous change is the return of the Kinetic Energy Recovery system, the KERS. After being seen on the track in 2009, it was banned in season 2010 by FIA due to its high cost. However, only after a year it has been allowed once again to replace
the F-Duct, which was the most popular developments last year. Another new attraction for the next season’s grid is the introduction of new adjustable wing. The basic function of the wing is to help drivers overtake during the race, which can change the results
dramatically.
However, Trulli, who has a very extensive experience with the sport and has competed in 238 Grands Prix since his entrance in the sport in 1997, believes that brining such huge and sudden changes in the sport is not wise.
However, when questioned about the constant changes, FIA stated that the alterations are intended to create more fanfare and to enable the smaller teams to cope up with the ever-increasing budgets. Contrary to this, the Italian believes that instead of helping
the smaller teams in money matters all this rather brings more inconvenience for them. He explained saying, “We talk about saving money but each year the rules change, people don't understand, it becomes less of a show."
