    “If you are sitting there, not really as a motor racing enthusiast, and you turn on the TV to watch a spectacle then Formula One isn’t that good, ” says the Coleriane-born engineering guru. “A big percentage of viewers are people who just want to switch on during the course of a Sunday afternoon and see something on TV. “They want to see more racing, drivers side-by-side, five overtaking manoeuvres a lap.
