Camaraderie is in the year 2015 to look far in the king’s class of motorsport. Sebastian Vettel will find that annoying, but it’s also not logical?
The four-time world champion regrets that the atmosphere in the pit lane. Drivers maintain themselves barely warm contacts and friendship seems to be little place.
Partly due to that development, of course, is the increased professionalisation of the sport. The time between the warm up and the race with the klega’s a sjekkie on one of the Dunlops of your racer smoked is long gone, but there are sponsors so much efforts of drivers that don’t have time for.
In addition, the risk for a part of the sport is gone. Thirty years ago, there was a reasonable chance that one of your colleagues, the weekend would not survive. Now we want the tragic accident of Jules Bianchi not trivialize, but as dangerous as, at the time, is the sport absolutely not. That cheering we of course only, but a certain degree of danger brings people together. Or at least that we take on, there are few life-threatening scenes for the AB-editors.
As Vettel also suggests the sport is much more professional. Teammates think twice before they telemetry data sharing with the other, because who knows you eat your biggest opponent or just that last few tenths of his time. And do you have a spot lower on the starting grid. It is also the time that you have for next to nothing a Cosworth DFV engine bought and in your barn, a frame in the other expense long and wide behind us. In other words, the margins become smaller, the amounts are larger and therefore there is more commitment of the drivers is required.
Ergo: during the raceweekends no big fun in the paddock is inherent to the level of the pieces has gone up. Nevertheless, we imagine that Vettel would rather see that ‘t there ” as on the picture below. Because yes, Lauda and Hunt were great friends again, in contrast to the image that the (already excellent) movie, tried to put down.
