F1: "F1 Regulations made 2022 such a great season"

Nico Rosberg has taken his hat off to Ross Brawn for the regulation changes Formula 1 introduced for the 2022 season to bring back the excitement in the sport by allowing cars better chances to overtake, among other things.

Nico Rosberg, the 2016 F1 world champion, has praised the sport for making the changes as he believes it made the 2022 season “awesome.” As quoted by the F1 website, he said:

“For me, the year of F1 was so awesome. It was such a great season.”

“Even though one guy dominated so much, it didn’t really make it boring. It was just so interesting all the time, so exciting, so many things changing – it was great. I think the rule changes really worked very well, to make overtaking easier – we can confirm that. They’ve done a great job with that, led by Ross Brawn, so thank you Ross and team for the effort on that.”

The 2022 season saw 785 overtakes, a big jump from the 599 passes recorded in 2021. This, Rosberg believes, is proof that the new rules were working as intended, as he said:

“The amount of overtakes [in 2022] compared to [2021], [there were] so many more, and that’s really just proof of how the new rules are working.”
