Jean Alesi has been in charge of the Circuit Paul Ricard, which is located in the south of France in Le Castellet, since February 1, and we talked about it. The problem is that last year this circuit hosted the French Grand Prix for the last time and in the near future the stages of the World Cup will not be held there.
For Alesi, this circuit is associated with fond memories, as it was there that he made his debut in Formula 1 on July 9, 1989 with a Tyrrell 018. According to the former racer, he knows why France was without a national Grand Prix. .
“There is not enough goodwill. For example, the President of France has never come to our Grand Prix as a guest. This is very different from what is happening in other countries, Alesi said on the broadcast of BFM radio station Toulon Var. – The problems of the French Grand Prix are not related to the Paul Ricard circuit, it is a national problem. On a national scale, I don’t feel the urge to hold a World Cup stage.
Geographically, the circuit is ideally located. But if you live in a country where there is no interest in holding a grand prix, it is extremely difficult to organize it.”
When asked if he was ready to meet President Emmanuel Macron, the F1 veteran said: “It would be an honor to exchange views with him on a subject that is so close to my heart. But honestly I think he has other priorities.”
