'Cheaper tickets should be Liberty's first priority'

Alain Prost says cheaper tickets should be new F1 owner Liberty Media's first priority.

Asked what he would do if he had just taken over, the F1 legend told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica: "Lower prices to get into the circuits."


"At the moment it makes no sense. Because with empty grandstands, everything dies."

"I agree with Ross Brawn that we need a project of 4-5 years, with targeted structural reforms in several areas: technical, regulations, communication," Prost added. (GMM)

  • Alain is quite right, putting butts in seats is the only way to keep the lights on. Every entertainment venue struggles to achieve this. It's the only way to ensure the entertainment continues and survives.
