Ecclestone confident for a way out of the crisis

If Bernie Ecclestone still has an important opinion with Max Mosley, there is no doubt that the president of the FIA ​​has turned a deaf ear in recent days. However, the holder of the commercial rights of the Formula 1 do not imagine that the Federation and the team bosses cannot find common ground. “ I think what disturbed everyone was the double regulation according to the respect of the budget of 40 million pounds, Ecclestone told the BBC. I think everyone agrees not to end up with that. We should only have one regulation. »

If this difference in treatment depending on the budget does not have more in the paddock, Ecclestone does not believe that the teams are opposed to a limitation of the budget. “ I think everyone is more or less satisfied with this budget limitation. It all depends on the limit set. It will be higher, or maybe lower. But everyone will be under the same regulations. »

The “big moneyman” of Formula 1 even expressed his personal opinion in the Daily Mail on the double regulation according to the budget of the teams. “ I always thought it was a bad idea. It is important to get rid of it. » And if, as Ecclestone imagines, this difference in technical regulations disappears, he does not believe there will be an upheaval in the paddock. “ I am confident that all the teams will continue to race next year. » For the sake of Formula 1, late diplomacy should once again smooth the way.
