Controversial the end of last year 's final race in Abu Dhabi is sufficient evidence for this, he reveals American in an extensive article on the website McLaren. And Brown adds that they should teams take away control of sport.
Brown he stated in his article that there are some rules and their management in its current form unacceptable. According to him, the events in Abu Dhabi, in which are the decisions of the race management directly affected on the outcome of the race and the title of world champion, a symptom of systemic problems with coherence and clarity on who sets the rules, FIA or teams.
"No one is happy with the inconsistency in the application of the rules, but teams often abuse it for their own benefit, to gain a competitive advantage,”Is critical Brown. According to him, they have now teams too much power and that should be changed, to reduce that power. “We have an important role to play in setting the rules and running Formula 1 and this impact does not always depend on what is best for the sport as a whole." Brown believes that teams need to be consulted on long-term strategic issues. “But sometimes Formula 1 seems to be ruled by certain teams. Let’s not forget that we teams have contributed more than anyone else to the inconsistency in enforcing the rules."
In words Brown the teams voted in favor many regulations, on which they then complained. “The teams used radio communication with the race management to send messages to the director to try to influence the penalties and the outcome of the race, to the point where an over-enthusiastic team boss (Toto Wolff, Mercedes team boss in Abu Dhabi, op.p.) plays in front of the grandstand and put pressure on the race director. This was not in favor of Formula 1,Brown concluded.
More needs to be added here fact, which has been debated for several years and it is influence of producers in Formula 1, which is definitely too big. Yes Bernie Ecclestone he had up to them a different attitude like the others, for he feared that some of them might go away. In the recent past, he was even threatened with pirate series. Nothing is different today when Formula 1 is leading Liberty Medium, which in conjunction with FIA “Carefully” handles manufacturers and allows what a step across the border allowed. And here we have to Brown give it another way. They are needed reformsthat they will not be the leading ombudsmen FIA in Formula 1 just yet puppets Mercedes and Ferrari and Red Bulla.
