Haas boss Guenther Steiner believes Formula 1’s proposed cost cap for 2021 will only partially succeed in bringing the field 🔯closer together.

In a bid to create a more level playing field among teams and help reduce financial spend as part of its technical and sporting regulation overhaul for 2021, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1🍰 plans to implement a $17🎉5m cost cap.

The cost cap is set to be phased in across a three-year timeline, beginning with a soft implementation in 2021. F1 motorsport Ross Brawn wa꧋rned teams that are in breach of the financial rules will face “serious and severe” consequences.

“I think in the beginning the cost cap - how it’s defined now - will close the gap, but it will not take the gap away,” Steiner ꦯexplained.

“We are far from spending $175 million🌱 at the moment, and the big teams are well over that.

“The big 🎃teams need to come 🌟down, and they will get down to $175 million, but most of the other teams are well within that figure.

“Hopefully, it closes the gap to✤ start off, then we’ll see. Maybe there♔’s a second step in the cost cap.”

Asked how the changes will effect Haas’ business model, Steiner replied: “Very little changes. ꦉThe business model change is very little.

"I’m not against it, I think there was a good compromise found for us, because in the beginning they wanted to ban that you can buy suspension, but they realised you can buy suspension but you cannot make the fairings, which we haven’t got a p൲roblem with in general.

“I think we are OK, and then some of the parts which before we bought, now they wi𒀰ll be standard parts. I have no problem. We negotiated it with them, and they ca🐻me up with them.”

Steiner said teams achieved one of their biggest aims in ensuring they can remain c𒐪reative and design cars that differ from their rivaꦰls’ concepts.

“It was the biggest argument between FIA, FOM and the teams,” S🐬teiner said.

“The teams didn’t ꩵwant to have a single-make car or be boxed in too much. We didn’t want to end up with a GP1 series.

“In the end, FOM opened up the creativity by opening up the regulations. ꦚSo, hopefully, we can achieve it.

“The d൩evelopment, whatever the regulations, is always in aerodynamics. That’s the main thing to develop,” he added.

“There is still enough freedom where we can develop areas of the car to make them different fro🐷m each 🐻other. We’ll try to get a little bit more performance out than our competitors.

𒅌“The floor is always one of th🐲e most important things on a Formula 1 car. It’s always been important and will continue to be, so not a lot will change in that respect.

“You’re always worඣking to get everything out of the car 🍒from wherever you can.”
