The only way Formula 1 can ensure “more interesting races” is for the sport’s authorities to intervene. “Given Mercedes’ dominance, for which they worked hard for several years to achieve, they obviously deserve to be where they are. “I believe the only way to have more interesting races in the next year and a half will be to artificially slow Mercedes or create other conditions like with reverse grids. Seidl said he is no fan of artificial measures to spice up the show, but he thinks it is the only way for now. “I think that’s the discussion that Mercedes should have with the FIA or Formula 1, if they are open to something like that,” he said.
