That would be a breakdown of the current philosophy, because Cyril Abiteboul, team boss Renault, is committed to the team Formula 1 involved in the process of designing new tracks or in adapting existing ones. Instead of racing more and more subject to the rules, the teams are supposed to help rebuild the tracks so that they are friendly to overtaking.
"Personally, I would rather replace the excessive narrowing of the rules with a little more speculation about the floor plans of the tracks,”The Frenchman told colleagues from Motorsport-Total.com. "We simply need to adjust the tracks a bit, instead of investing money in 20 race cars, which have to be different every year." Abiteboul believes they would have teams Formula 1 free resources to undertake appropriate calculations. “For example, I would change one or two turns on each track. This was significantly more cost effective and better for the sport."
French would start right on the home track: “One example is the race for the French Grand Prix at Le Castellet, which is so important to us. There was a lot of criticism after her for being boring and for turning into a procession. We tried to make it a little more interesting in the end, but we were punished. What we did then is that we did some simulations with an alternative track configuration that could lead to a more interesting race. In this regard, I would like more cooperation with other teams."
"If ten teams work together, we can achieve great results relatively quickly and we don't have to wait until 2021. That would be possible for next year,He added Abiteboul. On the possible difficulties of allowing the teams to adapt the tracks to their own race cars, the Frenchman did not talk about it.
For the track in Vietnam was invited to participate Craig Wilson, a longtime engineer. He worked for today's team Mercedesawhen it was called Bar, Honda in BrawnGP and finally for the team Williams. "They invest a lot of design work in the Vietnam track,Says Abiteboul. “But wouldn’t everyone together do something good for Formula 1,”The Frenchman still asks?
