F1: Toro Rosso's Tost wants more support for GP promoters
Formula 1 teams must better support race promoters to help improve the overall show for fans, according to Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost.
Television audiences are suffering a decline in some markets while several venues are battling against falling spectator attendances. The problems were highlighted when the German Grand Prix, which has been on the calendar since 1960, recently fell off the 2015 schedule.
"We need to show the people a fantastic race with fights on track and overtaking moves," Tost told AUTOSPORT. "We must also support the promoters with their requests because the races must be promoted in advance and the race weekends must have more entertainment.
"It means more [support] races and maybe concerts. It must be a fantastic event because Formula 1 is only once in every country. If this is promoted enough, the people will have the feeling to go there as it's the highlight go the year. This is how I see it."
