South Tyrolean team boss: “It will be a new Formula 1”

Haas team boss Günther Steiner expressed this opinion in an interview with motorsport magazine . “The money will be less in the next few years,” said the 55-year-old from Meran: “That's why you have to adapt and not dream that everything will be the same as before the Covid-19 period. It will be a new Formula 1.”

Not everyone agrees with Steiner. Despite all the current difficulties, you also have to preserve the DNA and core of Formula 1 and examine every detail before making a final decision, said Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto Sky : “These decisions must not be based solely on emotions, but must keep the long-term future of Formula 1 in mind.” Mattia Binotto questions the usefulness of a budget cap. © GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Mark Thompson

Steiner vehemently contradicts this. It's not exciting for a patron who invests a lot of money in a racing team when "the big teams spend a lot and a small team is four seconds slower and fighting for eighth or ninth place," he said: "He can do the same thing Instead of spending hundreds of millions, go to the Paddock Club and see how the front teams drive.” Steiner: “Common sense is not yet completely healthy in Formula 1” However, the top teams are dependent on the smaller racing teams to fill the starting field, “and that's why we have to agree on something where it is possible for both of them to drive. Because just taking part, being three or four seconds slower and spending a lot of money makes no sense,” said Steiner.

In times of the corona pandemic, common sense in Formula 1 is “not yet completely healthy, but it is slowly healing,” said Steiner: “Everyone knows what the world is like at the moment, but everyone is still trying to do the best "That's not fundamentally wrong, but: "The most important thing now is for everyone to understand the situation we find ourselves in."

Formula 1 must help its so-called small teams in the fight for economic survival and therefore further reduce the budget cap of $2021 million per season planned for 175.
