Formula 1 teams are considering banning in-season difficult subsequently year as separate of a move to cut costs.
Thought relating teams and the FIA are ongoing in relation to conduct to reduce spending with a big focus on additional standard parts, an opening out of parc ferme rules and a reduction in the figure of working personnel allowed at a grand prix. Nevertheless sources have revealed that one avenue that is moreover being seriously evaluated is an overhaul of difficult.
It is unspoken that a figure of proposals are being discussed, including a ban on in-season difficult once again. For this year, teams agreed to a return of a imperfect figure of post-race tests. These have already taken place next the Bahrain and Spanish Grands Prix, and there force be broaden runs next the British and Abu Dhabi races. Although approximately teams have welcomed the appraise of the tests, not altogether of them are convinced that they are warranted because of increased expenditure and the extra stress it puts on personnel.
As well as a potential ban on in-season difficult, there are moreover moves to cut rearward on pre-season running subsequently year, and it is likely there force be lone two tests now previous to the first race of the year. There moreover appears to be little desire to coop beyond of Europe, because of the extra cost that entailed for teams this year as they got to grips with their new 2014 cars. It could unkind that just two pre-season tests guide place subsequently year in Spain.
SPORTING RULES BEST WAY TO CUT COSTS
The focus on such changes to the sporting rules to reduce costs has been supported by Ferrari specialized director James Allison, who thinks that it may be a better way of controlling spending than changes to specialized rules.
One of things weve said is that in all-purpose the specialized regulations have not been the happiest hunting ground for saving margins, he said at the Monaco GP, when asked to counter to comments from FIA president Jean Todt that stream ideas were a joke.
Sporting regulations have been generally additional effective in that, so if theres an amount of effort to be put into discussing stuff, most likely the biggest amount of change force be saved if we focus our effort on the sporting region. Saying that, there always are areas on the specialized region where you bottle save chunks of change. I cogitate it would be wrong to say these things are a joke.
There are a great figure of proposals on the board they just necessary to be talked in relation to until the ones which are a joke fall off the board and the ones which arent stay on the board, and with any luck the questions of sustainability are resolved.
