More standard parts makes Formula 1 cheaper. But that is the thesis to which it is David Coulthard extremely critical. In a podcast of colleagues from Motorsport the Scot explained why he was afraid he might be too compensated Formulas 1 more harm than good.
Otherwise Coulthard does not want to categorically exclude standardized parts, I would limit them to components, which are not completely tied to the performance of the car. Formula 1 we must not become standardized series, in which the race cars are slightly different. “The IndyCar series does not have a global audience because they are not about any rocket science. A certain magic is needed in Formula 1. We should not have race cars as in series production. I know the rules don’t go that far, but if we have too many standardized parts…"
Those responsible must in any case ensure that Formula 1 stays away the fastest racing series, explain Coulthard. That’s why she’s so attractive, too. And to team up their race cars in important areas they construct themselves, this should not be negotiated in the future. “Formula 1 has always been the royal class of motorsport, in which your car has to be largely your own intellectual property."
But Coulthard fears that new measures such as the budget ceiling and above all development advantage for inferior teams in the design championship, lowered the value Formula 1. "I have big concerns about anything that ensures success with some handicap. I believe that the basis of Formula 1 has always been that there is a rule that everyone interprets and implements according to their abilities," Ends Scots.
