Rearguard team Williams will also be relieved by the decision to postpone the regulation change for a year. “We have had a bad year and that is also affecting my company’s future-proofing,” said team boss Claire Williams in Barcelona in February.
“Not only do we have to perform better, we also have to ensure that we survive. 2020 will be a challenging year, but if we start scoring again, it will generate extra income. That is our goal, but we still have a long way to go. to go.”
Wise decision
“Postponing the rules is a wise decision,” said NOS commentator Louis Dekker. “Look at this season. The first races have already been canceled or postponed and what is left of the rest is the question. No races means: expenditure and no income. Even the wealthy Formula 1 cannot last such a scenario forever survive.”
According to Dekker, the compulsory closure of factories imposed by the Formula 1 pipeline offers little relief. “That is an intervention with a view to a new race calendar. Formula 1 is still hoping for a restart in the summer, but that will not save the teams.”
