Budget ceiling with the FIA president Jean Todt takes care of headaches. From year 2021 they will be able to teams Formula 1 had only s $ 175 million (z exceptions). But that limit is in the opinion French too high, making room for follow-up. The negotiations themselves were a long and difficult process, admits Todt. For in these negotiations they collided different team interests. While midfield teams demanded lower amount, big teams fought for every cent.
"The most important thing is that we were finally able to unify,He said Dead in terms of compromise. “Nevertheless, I continue to argue that the budget ceiling is definitely too high.“The President FIA namely expresses fear, seven out of ten teams of these, they will not be affected at all, as their budgets are already there below that limit. Only top teams operate with significantly higher amounts. A few days ago, it became clear that it was Mercedes in 2018 increased its budget to $ 350 million. "This ceiling will only affect three teams. Nevertheless, it will reduce the hole to the remaining seven teams."
This is why it is necessary budget ceiling just say hello. However, they are exceptions met with disapproval from critics because they are not included within this limit the salaries of racersas well as not marketing in travel expenses. "Some items have been exempted, but despite this, this is the first real step," so Dead. Last but not least, it’s all about being principle introduced at all. "Once that happens, it will allow us to take the second step,”Hopes the Frenchman.
