Who guaranteed all those nice things such as --free up technical regulations-- and whatever else you think budget will do for you. Budget, in my personal opinion, is a disaster in making for technology series. This is not NHL or similar where you do headcount and check payroll. F1 has to control (or have under control) probably, in my estimation, cost of close to 100,000 items for the whole series. (Good stuff for bookkeepers.) BTW, what will follow if your favorite team runs over budget in August? Who's that genius who knows at what limit budget should be set? Sorry Ruslan, but I think this will lead to greater standardization and series will resemble IRL pretty soon. Death of the F1.
Yes, we did and we are arguing the same issue without progress. My intent is not to drive anyone into insanity, however I am trying to understand your point of view. I can spend another hour listing treacherous watters with this move, yet I am still lacking understanding benefits. Who will benefit from such budgetary restrictions? I thought you should know since you are long standing proponent of such regulation. I am not even sure if I understand what effect you can expect. It cannot be greater competitiveness, I don't think that what is expected. I am not trying to be aggressive, but you have never - as I can recall - elaborated on vision how F1 would work with budget limits. I also do not know about anyone who agreed to relax technical regulation for set budget. Currently there is no such thing.
I do expect compromises and budget enforcement on some parts of racing, instead on whole enchilada, which will enable them to say, "we have tried".
Well, supposedly the budget cap has been proposed and I gather has been begrudgedly accepted. There has been no details on it in the news that I have seen. But the entire rule package for 2021 should be resolved by June of this year (because they can't wait much longer).
Says the wealthy and well-connected.
The quote is of course hers, not mine. I have chosen this interview not on basis of hers accomplishments in F1, whatever those are, but on fact, that she is a wife of a leading team co-owner, a TP, a someone who is on the inside, and she probably knows more what's going on behind close doors, than most of us know on this forum. I assume carefully her rhetoric mirrors thinking of her husband, and listening to her is probably more informative than asked at the interview with Torger - hey Totto, while on TV, now tell us what you REALLY think about 100MM budgets.
