Gary Anderson can’t win the formula 1 rules for the coming years very much. “Every Time I go through the 127 pages of the Technical regulations, I need to grin and think to myself how glad I am to be more direct in the formula 1 to be involved,” says the longtime Jordan-designers and -technology-in-chief to “The Race”.
“You need to have now no first-class Design engineers, but first-class lawyers,” said his settlement with the king class. The 69-Year-old calls for the future: “If the formula 1 wants to really attract more opportunities, or new Teams in the championship, then you need to rethink.”
During the Corona-break, the person responsible would have had last a lot of time. “This time you’d be able to use, to simplify the rules – instead of complicating them even more,” shake Anderson, the head – and concrete examples. Among other things, it’s about the new Handicap System will be introduced as of 2021.
formula 1: Is the gap widening instead of narrowing?
The idea, he will not find generally good, however, the planned System, he is “far enough,” says Anderson. He explains: “There is a big difference between success and dominance. These restrictions are based on success, and no Team should have to suffer. You do nothing to check the dominance.”
The new restrictions on Aero development relate only to the date or in the previous year. The System does not differentiate, for example, whether a Team is once or five times in a row world champion. This is the point at which Anderson bothers.

a Team Succeeds so theoretically, in a year, a stroke of luck, it would be punished in the next season “” – even though they had cut off in the years before, maybe bad. And also the further Changes that are planned for the season 2021, may be said to Anderson little. Another example is the new Token System.
“You can use its Token only once”, writes Anderson, and explains: “If there are problems later, then the Fund could be empty already.” Background: using a Team Token, and developed the car in the wrong direction, the later is more correct. The gap in the field could be even bigger instead of smaller.
Mercedes in the sub-floor in the advantage?
in Addition, is adapted to the sub-floor for the season in 2021. The cars should lose in next year’s output, so that the tyres are already used since 2019, will get no problems. “The voice says I don’t have to”, Anderson is also here, and reminds you that you should develop for 2021 anyway.
“If the aerodynamic rules remain the same, then the load on the tyre would be almost the same as 2020. So we go with ‘critical’ tyres in the season 2020?”, so his rhetorical question. He also explains that the Change to the meet the Teams of different hard – depending on the philosophy of the car. dpa Valtteri Bottas in the Mercedes.
“The cars that go with more pitch, will be affected more,” he says and cites concrete examples: “In the case of Mercedes will RUB all the hands because the Team has never believed in the concept with a high staff car.” The angle of attack at the Mercedes had always been low.
Anderson predicts: This is going to be expensive …
the same applies to Racing Point, put on a similar philosophy as the factory team. One way or the Anderson predicts that this Change for the Teams will financially be really expensive. It is a forced rule, was “a change in times, in which we have stable rules should have. From the not each other?”
the new budget upper limit in the amount of 145 million US dollars, which will be introduced in the coming year, can’t get away at Anderson well: “Even a sensible step as the cost of cover […] is undermined by the fact that there are far too many exceptions. If you want to check the costs, then all costs should be included.”
“I always say: Keep it simple,” says Anderson’s advice to the formula 1. Although the teams are allowed to spend in the coming year on paper, only $ 145 million. However, there are numerous exceptions, including cost drivers such as driver salaries.
