Formula 1 | Brawn on 2021 regulations: “New engines must be economical, less complex and noisier”

In an interview with Sky Sports, Ross Brawn spoke about the future 2021 regulations, underlining how Liberty Media is trying to lower the management costs linked to the power units. The Englishman, exposed on the front line against the motorists, states that a completely different policy is needed for the future and that the entry of an independent supplier should not be seen as a catastrophe. The Circus must create conditions in which even a small engineer, perhaps not interested in manufacturing a chassis, can enter and play the "game" with a relatively low budget.

Here are the words of Ross Brawn: “The 2021 engines need to be more economical, less expensive and make more noise. There must be a regulation that allows independent suppliers to make their entry. Obviously I'm not saying that there will be an independent supplier, but that there must be the conditions for such a scenario. The second step is the price: today to buy a power unit it takes a million pounds and this sum does not include upgrades. This is definitely too much for Formula One. It is our duty to lower the spending ceiling and make this "game" as economical as possible."
