Former Formula 1 driver Hans-Joachim Stuck is a fan of the current F1 cars that we have feasted our eyes upon over the last few days.
Sauber, Williams, Force India, Renault and Mercedes have all revealed their 2017 challengers, and Stuck likes what he sees.
"It's the right direction," Stuck told Bild newspaper. "Wider, faster, more power, it all helps to bring the driver back to the forefront. Formula 1 must be spectacular again, not a drive for coffee."
While Stuck remains a fan of the sport he participated in from 1974 to 1979, he says that it still has a long way to go and a lot more to improve upon.
For me that's unthinkable," Stuck said about the improbable future of the German Grand Prix. "The first thing to do is to lower the ticket prices, and secondly the fan has to be offered more.
"In 2014 there were 50,000 spectators at Hockenheim (for F1), but 140kms away at a truck race there were 140,000. Why? Because it was affordable, you could get up close, and because it was a good show," he added.

Good question.
"Because it was affordable, you could get up close..."
I rest my case.
