Manor GP is asking questions. Like the new teams who presented themselves to participate in the new championship of F1 with a budget capped at 45 million euros, Manor GP does not view the abandonment of the “budget cap” very favorably. The director of the team currently racing in F3 Euro Series admitted that it is too early to comment on the subject. “ As long as the Concorde Agreements are not signed, if the teams sign them one day, then we do not make comments”, said John Booth on Autosport.

“[The absence of a ceiling] makes things more difficult but I think we can still succeed “, he continued. " It depends on the [cost reduction] goal that the teams have set for themselves, what the early 90s level actually is. Until we know the exact rules, we can just try to guess."he concluded.
