Before we turn the focus to Canada, back to Le Mans.
premises. I don’t understand how anyone can be slaughtered on a comparison between Wec and F1. It is a meaningless comparison. They are two different and distant worlds, even incomparable. It was Enzo Ferrari himself, in 1973, who decided that it was objectively appropriate for his company to focus all its energies on Grands Prix. You may or may not like it. But that’s how it went. The difference in popularity between the two categories is undeniable. To say it is not true is to deny reality. Accepting this, the reality, in no way diminishes the allure of endurance racing reserved for cars with covered wheels. Naturally, I’m referring to people who love WEC. Which might as well leave you indifferent and not because anyone who remains indifferent deserves a sucker’s license. I hope i was clear.
Then, when John Elkann announced Ferrari’s return to Le Mans, I confessed my appreciative amazement. Surprised because I am not a fan of this President. Appreciated because I belong to the generation that grew up on 24 hour fiction.
I add that the effect of the victorious Sunday is beautiful. It was not clear that this would happen. The Coletta crew did a great job, this is a group that has been driven for years in the smaller categories for experience and the idea of trusting my friend Dallara to build a hypercar was visionary.
Even then. Be careful not to get confused. Even as a Ferrari driver I am perplexed how it is possible that a company that won instantly in the WEC does not continue to pull a spider out of a hole called F1. And for many years.
But I also answer myself. Toyota, the big loser of Le Mans23, has dominated this type of competition for years. But when the Japanese legend appeared on the podium of the GP, he didn’t even touch the ball. Investing huge resources in the operation.
So we go back to the starting point: we are talking about separate and distant realities.
Ultimately. In conclusion, BOP does not create any inconvenience for me, I understand the needs of modernity. But don’t kid me: If anyone had proposed to Drake to be bop, he would have been chased with a pitchfork.
Thank you for attention.
