Schumacher: “I'm not very in favor of regulation changes in the middle of the season”

Adrian Newey is furious this Thursday, as the main issue in Valencia is the mid-season blowing exhaust ban.

But also Michael Schumacher in this regard he expressed his opinion: "I'm not very in favor of regulation changes in the middle of the season". Mercedes GP, together with Renault and Red Bull, would appear to be the teams that will be most affected by this ban.

“I don't know and I don't understand all this” added the seven-time world champion, also indicating that the decision of FIA There's something political about it.

Schumacher also stated that this ban will hit the top teams and that it will be a hard blow especially for Red Bull, leaders of the championship, pioneers of this technology.

Also Eric boullier, Nick Heidfeld e Vitaly Petrov of Renault have declared their amazement at this regulation change, since the Renault R31 is built entirely around this technology.

Adrian Newey said: “Renault will be affected a lot, as all this technology is based on having exhaust gases coming out all the time.” The designer also had a long conversation with Brazilian journalist Livio Oricchio, but nothing was recorded about it.

“It's a shame I couldn't write what he said. Or not being able to report the tone of his comments,” said the O Estado de S.Paulo correspondent.
