“A team boss ran to the media immediately afterwards and lamented that the increase wasn’t high enough. I'd rather talk about the sport instead.” F1
He added: “I’d rather talk about the sport instead. The fans are interested in lap times, less in budgets or underbodies that are too flexible.“One thing is certain: you shouldn’t overestimate all of this and always have to keep calm.”Prior to the teams sitting down with the FIA, the Briton warned that as many as “seven of the teams would probably need to miss the last four races” unless the cap was increased.
He, and it must be said other team bosses too, got their way with motorsport’s governing body announcing they’d be allowed to spend 3.1 percent more., telling Autosport: “Is it enough? Not compared to inflation, and what it is today. “It’s not enough for us, and it’s too much for the little ones. So it’s a compromise, and a consensus was found in the end.”
But complaining, and using the media to do so, is nothing new in Formula 1. Teams have been speaking, could one say out of turn?, for decades and it is not something that’s likely to end.As Toto Wolff put it“I think we all do that, trying to stay ahead or protect ourselves or, in a way, understand where [team] policy is going. I think it’s quite normal.”
