Horner urges Liberty to be "ambitious" with timeframe

Christian Horner has urged Liberty Media to be ambitious with its timeframe for laying out the exact details of the new regulations for 2021. On Friday morning in Bahrain, teams were presented with the blueprints of what the sport will look like going forward.

The regulations included implementing cheaper, simpler, louder, power units, as well as an overview of the changes to costs, revenues, sporting and technical rules, and governance. But Horner says that Liberty must impose an ambitious timeframe, and finalise the specific details in the next couple of months.

"It needs to be done within the next couple of months, but that’s ambitious," the Red Bull team principal told Sky Sports F1. "There’s some big topics to deal with there: engines, budget caps and redistribution of prize fund. It’s ambitious but they’ve got to go for it. At least they’ve put a target down to say we want this nailed within a couple of months.

"They are not keen to conduct all the negotiation through the media and this gives you the bare bones but the bottom line is this is going to have a much bigger effect on three or four teams running at the front of the grid.

"The guys from P4 downwards are potentially going to get a lot of upside. So you should see some fairly happy faces down that end of the paddock and some bigger challenges at this end of the paddock."
