The cost cap wrangling came to a resolution ahead of the Austrian GP. But adamcooperF1 looks at the risks the big F1 teams now face with the latest financial rules amendment. Story:
It would be understandable if fans were left bemused by the ongoing saga of team bosses arguing about a few million dollars here and there.
"The argument is that F1 is now too cheap," says Alfa Romeo's Fred Vasseur."For me, this one is completely wrong, because I think F1 is in a good shape because we have the cost cap. There's one precedent in F1 history in terms of a significant post-season change to the season's outcome. The 3.1% increase is a small number, but it has given the teams a little breathing space as they struggle to keep a lid on their spending. Whether or not they can all now stay under the new limit remains to be seen, but at least they now have some wiggle room.
In Austria, any discussion of the outcome of the F1 Commission involved the word"compromise," and it was clear that the big spending teams wanted more, and the smaller teams wanted less.
