F1 has a huge reliability problem here’s how to fix it
“In the 2025 Formula 1 season, we’ve witnessed an exciting three-way title fight among Norris, Verstappen, and Piastri, with momentum shifting multiple times, accompanied by other compelling stories like Hulkenberg’s first podium and the captivating journeys of Antonelli and Williams.
Despite some disappointments, such as Hamilton’s challenging first year at Ferrari, 2025 has been a captivating season, showcasing the intense competition and drama that make F1 so engaging.
However, there is still room for improvement in F1, particularly in reintroducing an element of unpredictability and excitement that reliability issues used to bring to the sport.
The current level of reliability in F1 has significantly decreased the chances of dramatic race outcomes and added to the predictability of race results, making it less thrilling for spectators.
Looking back at past eras of F1, where mechanical failures were more common, we see how these moments of unpredictability added to the excitement and drama of the sport, creating unforgettable and iconic race instances that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
To enhance the spectacle of F1 and bring back some of the unpredictability that made the sport so compelling in the past, reintroducing a certain level of unreliability could help create more thrilling and memorable moments for both drivers and fans alike.”
