The F1 hybrid engine era started in 2014 and will end in 2021 as the new regulations take over in 2022. The new regulations could make the grid more competitive as Martin Brundle points out three changes he would like to see in Formula 1.
Martin Brundle, the Motor Sport Hall of Famer, spoke about his career and new F1 era in a podcast, ‘Motor Sport Magazine’. He is a Le Mans winner, World Sportscar Champion, and a former F1 driver, and is now a trusted voice as the Sky F1 commentator.
During the podcast, Martin Brundle set out to explain certain changes that he would like to see in Formula 1. “The cars have to become lighter. What I am hoping 2022 will be is slash the downforce, slash the weight, make the cars more nimble and more simple to understand.”

A reverse grid qualifying race is a thirty minutes qualifying race that would replace the existing qualifying format based on the current championship standing. The result of the qualifying race will decide the starting order of the race.
Martin Brundle said, “Three-four tracks of reverse championship position grid qualifying race because I think the same people will still end up winning the world championship, will extend it a bit and will give us a must-watch race.”
