After the stage in Jeddah, there were many articles in the British press that Formula 1 puts commercial interests above all else. Last night at a presentation in Las Vegas, Stefano Domenicali said Formula 1 will remain in Saudi Arabia, explaining that the podium, which raises more than $65 million a year, will help “change the country”.
Stefano Domenicali: “We talked about the fact that this country has certain problems. I believe that sport in general and Formula 1 in particular will draw the necessary attention to these issues, will set the motion vector in the right direction.
We are not involved in politics, but I believe that sport will help a country that wants to change its culture. We have to do our duty, so we stay. We are convinced that together we can shape a better future faster.”
