Gerhard Berger has admitted he is no fan of the ongoing debate about overtaking in formula one.<\/p>\n
After watching the Australian grand prix on television, the ten-time race winner said the new moveable rear wings made “barely” any difference.<\/p>\n
But “This is the wrong approach,” he said on Austrian Servus TV.\u00a0 “I want to see racing, where if you want to get past you have to brake later.<\/p>\n
“I don’t even know why we always have to talk about overtaking.\u00a0 Everyone seems to complain but in recent years, the world championships have been very interesting.<\/p>\n
“In most cases it (the champion) is decided at the last race; last year there were four drivers in with a chance.\u00a0 And there has been overtaking,” added Berger.<\/p>\n
He thinks that instead of seeing boosted overtaking with complicated technical systems, F1’s audience actually wants to watch a simplified sport.<\/p>\n
“The audience does not want to be completely overwhelmed but rather see very simple rules and racing — the same for formula one as with football.”<\/p>\n
Berger also talked about Red Bull’s current domination of F1, crediting designer “genius” Adrian Newey.<\/p>\n
“Something like him is very hard to find,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Mercedes have Brawn who is a good manager and a good strategy man, but it’s a real artist that is lacking there.”<\/p>\n
