Zak Brown calls for "radical change" in 2021 rules
F1 News
McLaren CEO Zak Brown says that he wants to see "radical change" to the way F1 is run when the new rules in 2021 are introduced, with the regulations set to undergo serious amendment from the current rules.
A budget cap could be set to enter for 2021, along with simpler aero designs, aimed at increasing the likelihood of good racing.
Brown said at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 5000 recently: “I think Formula 1 does need radical change.
“The amount of money that we’re spending is unnecessary relative to putting on a great show for the fans which is what motor racing should first and foremost be about.
“If you have a lot of fans around the world, you’ll have lots of sponsors and lots of promoters selling tickets, lots of manufacturers selling cars etc. I think in Formula 1, the spend is just way too much.”
Brown added that the aerodynamics of cars also need altering, adding: “Clearly we need closer racing and some more unpredictability.
“I think Formula 1 is headed on the right path. I think it does need some pretty drastic change and I’m confident that’s going to come in 2021.”
