F1 has undergone several changes over the last handful of years but former team owner Eddie Jordan is strictly against one in particular!
Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan strongly criticized sprint races in F1, calling them a “con” and a “sham” for the sport. He believes the alternate weekend format, with limited practice time, adds unpredictability but does not enhance the racing experience. Jordan suggested that sprint races should be reserved for rookie drivers, not main drivers. Additionally, Jordan expressed disapproval of the Drag Reduction System (DRS), calling it “false” and arguing that it gives an unfair advantage to attacking drivers. He believes that overtaking with DRS does not constitute a genuine fight and disadvantages skilled defenders, leading to unjust outcomes in races. Jordan remains opposed to DRS and favors a more traditional approach to racing.
