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about Ferrari’s hopes of retaining its veto right under the revised regulations in 2021, calling it “silly” and “outdated”.

Ferrari has held a veto over possible rul⛦e changes in F1 for a number of decades as part of its commercial agreement to race in the sport, but this is under threat upon a revision of the Concorde Ag🥂reement for 2021. 

Ferrari F1 chief Mattia Binotto said earlier this month that 168澳洲幸运5💧官方开奖结果历史:kee𓄧ping the veto was “important” to Ferrari as it was “protecting all the teams against decisions whi♕ch could be against the spirit or the interesꦐt of the teams themselves”.

However, Williams F1 deputy team principal Claire Williams said she felt Ferrari retaining t♋he vetoꦗ did not make sense.

“I think it’s just si🌊lly, if I’m bei♌ng honest,” Williams said.

“I have a problem in our sport anyಞway 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 regul♔ations. 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 committee, I think it can be very difficult.

“I really don’t feel that one team sho✅ul♔d have a veto. That makes no sense to me.”

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner echoed Williams’🏅ꦚ thoughts, saying the idea of the veto was “pretty outdated”.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 u🍌ltimately they’re representing Ferrari,ꦍ” Horner said.

“Probably, if we’re going for a clean sheet of paper, it would make sense for it not to be th🦹ere, and as Claire says, same rules for everyone.”

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

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

“We completely recognise the specific value of Ferrari to the sport, but 🧸that can be reflected probably in the commercial area rather than in the governanౠce.”

Brown added: “Formula 1 themselves want to ♓do what is in the best intere🥀sts of the sport, which I think is ultimately in the best interest of all of us, so we’re best having our own individual negotiations when and if that is appropriate.

“As Cyril said, I think Ferrari bring a tremend🌠ous amount to the sport, and that can🎐 be recognised in other ways.”
