The leaders of four Formula 1 teams have expressed their concern about Ferrari’s hopes of retaining its veto right under theﷺ revised regulations in 2021, calling it “silly” and “outdated”.

Ferrari𒈔 has held a veto over possible rule changes in F1 for a number of decades as part of its commercial agreementও to race in the sport, but this is under threat upon a revision of the Concorde Agreement for 2021. 

Ferrari F1 chief Mattia Binotto said earlier this month that 𒈔168澳洲5最新开奖结果:keeping the veto was “important” to Ferrari as it was “protecting all the teams again𒅌st decisions whic💞h could be against the spirit or the interest of the teams themselves”.

H﷽owever, Williams F1 depu꧃ty team principal Claire Williams said she felt Ferrari retaining the veto did not make sense.

“I think it’s just silly, if I’m being honest,”ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ Williams said.

“I have a prob♎lem in our sport anyway in the fact that I feel it’s too democratic. I’ve been quite open about that. I feel F1 and the FIA should take more ownership of the regulations. We run it too much in a collegiate way which is detrimental, as we all have our own agendas.

“We need to be looking at this sport and its sustainability into the future, and protecting it and protecting the 🤡true DNA of that. By doing that my commitꦗtee, I think it can be very difficult.

“I really don’t feel that one team should have a veto. That ma🥀kes no sense to me.”

Red Bull team boss Chri🅷stian Horner echoed Williams’ thoughts, saying the idea of the veto was “pretty outdated”.

“You can view it two ways. You can say it’s a safety net for them representing the teams, but ultimately they’re representing Ferrari,🅠” Horner said.

“Proba🦩bly, if we’re going for a cleꦕan sheet of paper, it would make sense for it not to be there, and as Claire says, same rules for everyone.”

Renault boss Cyril Abiteboul and McLare﷽n CEO Zak Brown both said that while Ferrari’s importance to F1 must be recognised, it sꦺhould be done so outside of the regulations.

“I think we need Formula 1 to be progressive rather than defensive, and an abil�ꦏ�ity to block due process that can be perceived or decided on what is positive for the sport would be not good,” Abiteboul said.

“We co🅰mpletely recognise the specific value of Ferrari to the sport, but that can be reflected probably in the commercial area rather than in the governance.”

Brow☂n added: “Formula 1 themselves want to do what is in the best interests of the sport, which I think is ultimately in the best interest of all of us, so we’re be🎉st having our own individual negotiations when and if that is appropriate.

“As Cyril said, I think Ferrari bring a tremendous amount t♓o the sport, and that can be recognised in other ways.”
