F1 fans have made their complaints pretty clear in recent years, but now it’s Clarkson’s time to voice his opinion on the sport he used to love – what the problems are and what he believes needs to be done to fix them. We’re not so sure about 16 races in one day, though…

but Mercedes aren't winning anymore , I get your point though but I. believe safety is important too.
Downvote for this deafening screeching noise between the cuts.
I grew up watching auto racing. Our dad took us kids out to watch Formula 1, Formula A, CanAm, TransAm, GT, and even NASCAR racing in the 1960s/70s. I got to see some very exciting racing. What would make F1 (and all other open-wheel racing for that matter) more exciting would be to get rid of the wings and the downforce devices and ditch all the onboard smart devices and controls. Raw, simplified cars that behave more like cars than rolling wind-tunnel experiments would hold spectators' interest a lot more. I love watching old race footage, from the 1940s, 50's, 60s. Yes, there were serious safety issues with those cars but the drivers were actually driving and truly racing. We could still incorporate modern safety technology without needing the stuff that makes the racing dull. Get rid of the wings and computers and start racing cars again. Also, change the restrictions to allow for some innovation again. Watching an entire field of identical machines gets pretty boring. This is what killed Indy for me.
it got better, and now in 2023, and speaking to the future until 2026, it got worst a lot worse
a full livestream of onboard camera would save F1
If 5 points per dangerous driving. In his career, max would have the most points in history
lol i watched f1 last time befour maybe 10 years and same as jeremy i loved f1
Very rude to your audience you foul-mouthed piece of trash!
it's unbelievable how his words are still truthful to these days about F1, most rigged sport ever by a mile…even more than football
"turn it into a proper sport again and not some health and safety exercise"
YES
bring back the v10s
Jeremy Clarkson told me to subscribe so I did. He’s a consummate entertainer, and he’s asking to be entertained by F1, I think the move to lightweight components has led to fragile, cars, and less entertaining racing. I don’t know the science, would heavier, duty cars with more mass be more dangerous? Over engineering is status quo for the auto industry, even though it leads to less reliable cars on the road, and less entertaining racing.
So many languages and Mr. Clarkson decided to speak the truth.
Wonder what he has to say about this year and 2021 🤭
So true
Anyone who comes back to this video in a new year is a true Jezza fan
There's never a time I can't agree with him.
Who watched NASCAR over the period of 12 days ago?
That was entertaining…
Goatifi needs to return
Too many rules, few technical improvements and little freedom for the mechanics. that's all.
Limitations are the key of problems.
Rumour has it that clarksons eyebrows are to replace flintoff on Top Gear
Wainting for "how fix F1 in 2023"…
There's a reason why midfield teams get so much traction, and that's because in 2 hours of racing there's probably only 10 overtakes and 9 of them are from the midfield. Equal specs, More durable parts to make contact not so race ending thus encourage more action between drivers.
max verstappen took your advice and did some overtaking and wheels to wheels battling in 2021. But he then decided he had enough and went ahead sadly.
I started watching F1 after a decade again once Max came on scene.
You can tell these old guys have a problem with Lewis cos there was none of this when Schumacher was dominating. And now with Max they are quiet. They can f*** off
Jeremy looks quite young in this
Monaco grand prix can f*** off.
This post didn't age well
Michael Massi took this personally
I just want to comb his eyebrow
BRING BACK THE V-10s
Great point. Health and safety kills everything.
Interesting that he says formula e is more interesting as they run on a standardized chassis/power plant.
I think things are going in a better direction now (until the rule shift in 2025 at least), but a few changes would be helpful:
Either making the cars smaller and/or reclassifying what qualifies as an f1 track so there is some room on the tighter circuits.
Lighten up the cars, but this would have a number of knock on effects… too many to go through here.
Reduce the initial time penalty for rule violations down from 5 seconds to something like 1 second
We should ask him how to make grand tour funny again, if it ever was.
Full video link?
Watch cart/indy in Canada USA its sort of like the older f1 now
No reason a team like ferarri or Mercedes cant beat a team thst mskes energy drinks something is clearly wrong there
He says funny things, sometimes inappropriate, but I don’t think he’s a racist. He’s well cultured but has no filter lol
