Former Formula 1 World Champion Damon Hill is telling Mercedes and Ferrari to hurry up and leave the sport after their threats to quit continued at the Australian Grand Prix.

Every time the F1 Concorde Agreement -- the agreement that dictates the regulations, how prize money and television revenue are divided among the teams, etc. -- is up for discussion, Ferrari and whoever happens to be winning at the time will issue threats to quit the sport. Red Bull has done it previously and Mercedes is now joining the Scuderia Ferrari camp in threatening to break away and form a rival championship.

Hill, champion while driving for Williams in 1996, didn’t mince his words on Twitter Sunday: “The sooner @MercedesAMGF1 and @ScuderiaFerrari breakaway the better as far as I’m concerned. These massive industrial complexes are ruining the sport. They don’t want to play. They want it all, and all the time. The @fia have lost grip of @F1 @SkySportsF1 #f1”

Liberty Media wants the most competitive sport possible and, with the first draft of the post 2021 agreement to be revealed within the next two weeks, Formula 1 Group CEO and Executive Chairman Chase Carey has outlined his vision.

“We’re excited about where we think we can take this sport to and I think there is a broad consensus (in what the teams want to see),” said Carey. “I mean, there are always going to be differences in the specifics. We’ve got a great sport, great history, great future, great stars, great teams and we’ve got to, as with every sport, continue to find ways to make it better and we’re excited about that opportunity and looking forward to engaging with the fans.

“Hopefully (fans can look forward to) surprises on the track, that’s our No. 1 priority. We want some surprises out there today and during the season but, as a sport, again I think that where we want to go is to really build on what makes this sport great and make it even better.”
