Former Formula One driver Jean Alesi believes the current restriction on driver aids is not enough saying a driver should race by himself.

Last summer, the FIA announced a major cut down on driver aids; in particular less communication from the pit-wall.

However, the Frenchman still thinks the changes should have gone a step further with even more restraints put in place.

“The clampdown on the radio is not enough,” he said.

“With the radio, the engineers say pit now – and there is too much information. The driver should race by himself and see what he can do.

“The solution to problems in F1 has to be to make the car more attractive from the outside and the competition less organised with the radio.”

The 1995 Canadian Grand Prix victor also criticised the current V6 turbocharged hybrid engines, believing the sport made a bad decision to bring them in.

“They are very efficient, and the technology for the environment is okay – but not in terms of motorsport and the noise,” he added.

With a huge investment made by all the teams to purchase the engines, Alesi doesn’t think F1 can revert back to a louder and cheaper engine.

“The problem is that they went too far, the manufacturers like Ferrari and Mercedes.”
