McLaren says the current opposition to floor changes in F1 is similar to the resistance the series faced when introducing the halo.
The halo faced considerable opposition during its development stages, but it has now become an accepted part of the sport across multiple single-seater categories.
“But there were lots of naysayers back then, you remember all the comments of It looks terrible, it's not F1. All this stuff. And it was like, why on earth not? There's definitely a danger there. "Why not just do the sensible thing on safety grounds? Because that's the main concern. And just ditch it."Key said that the sport can’t rely on the teams to solve the issue, and that it’s the responsibility of the FIA to act.
