Instead of the new rules from 2021 to 2022 and the 2020’s, cars for 2021 to freeze, before hovering him, the current rules retain the same the next three years. Liberty Media, he recommends his successors behind the wheel of Grand Prix Sports, had to change the formula 1 namely, in the between time.
Bernie Ecclestone: “the introduction of our own Team-WM”
Particularly, one of the Ecclestone proposed measures is startling: “The biggest Change I would go through with it, is the introduction of our own Team-the world Cup. We’d still have a driver’s world championship, in which all can participate, and a constructors ‘ championship for the ‘big Four’,” he says in one . LAT Bernie Ecclestone (r) still has good Connections to the formula 1 Paddock – also to Sebastian Vettel
Because of work would be excluded teams like Mercedes or Ferrari with your own design constructions of this Team-the world Cup and instead, as before, to the prestigious constructors ‘ title orientation would fight, there would be all of a sudden for the manufacturer-independent private teams to win something in formula 1.
30 million per season for two Chassis and two engines
Teams that are entitled to the world Team Cup participation, would have to embark on austerity measures, and with a Chassis-engine package from the bar (cost point, according to Ecclestone: well, 30 million euros per year) to compete.
