F1 Teams Want FIA To Better Organize Rule Changes

VALENCIA, SPAIN – Formula One teams called on FIA to better organize rule changes after a significant in-season regulation switch was imposed for this weekend’s European Grand Prix.

The latest change stipulates that teams can no longer alter engine setups between qualifying and the race, while an aerodynamics alteration will come into force from the British GP.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner called the situation “confusing” while his Lotus counterpart Mike Gascoyne characterized the midseason changes as frustrating because “we have all spent a lot of money developing something.”

FIA chief technical delegate Charlie Whiting says: “All we’re doing is making sure cars are running, in our opinion, legally.”
