F1 overseeing chief Ross Brawn says another administration structure is being considered for 2021 which will help keep teams from misusing loopholes in the title’s guidelines.

The 2021 upgrade carries with it the danger of a group utilizing a hazy area and finding a conceivably unequivocal preferred position. In any case, Brawn, whose team utilized the double diffuser to incredible impact in 2009. They won that year’s titles. He said the structures are being set up to forestall such a situation.

Another guideline making process being proposed involves 10 votes each for groups, for F1 and for the FIA. Changes for the next year would require a ‘simple’ majority part of 25. Progressively quick principle changes require support from a ‘super’ majority of 28. This adequately implies there are conditions where in the event that a couple of teams have discovered a path around the standards, they won’t have the option to forestall others closing it down right away.

“The governance in the past has been the teams have to all agree to make a change,” said Brawn.

“We’re pushing through governance where we can make changes, with much more short notice than at the present time.

“If you exploit a loophole, you can be shut down the next race, which you could never do now.

“If one team stands out there with a solution that had never been conceived and had never been imagined, and destroys the whole principle of what’s trying to be done, the governance would allow, with sufficient support from the other teams, to stop it.

“And what then happens, someone who has a loophole thinks to themselves. Do I want to use it and risk it being stopped? Or do I want to tell the FIA about it because it wasn’t intended?”

Regulations will not stop innovation-Ross Brawn

Brawn doesn’t accept the new structure will smother advancement and said he figures moves to change rules might be pushed through if there is a clear exploitation of a grey area.

“We want people with an understood set of regulations that will be the best at what they do. I think they have to rely on us and the FIA. We’re not going to penalize someone who has a great idea. That is subjective. But is a great idea the fact that someone put a comma in the wrong place in the regulations. Which means a lawyer can interpret it in a diverse way? I don’t think it is.”

Referencing Brawn GP’s title-winning campaign, and the double diffuser’s influence on that, he added: “I can accept that maybe, rather like in 2009, someone gets it right, someone gets it wrong.

“But I think you have to look fundamentally at the fact that only three teams won [recently], and are only ever going to win because no one else even came close.

“And you are just leaving things at risk, with the budgets those teams are spending, to a slight downturn in the economy and then suddenly it becomes a problem [for F1].

“There’s a chance that in 2021, somebody will get a jump on the opposition. But I think it’s a necessary reset.

“Otherwise, I don’t know [how] we are going to correct the situation we’re in.”
