Once again former FIA president Max Mosley encouraged Formula 1 to improve the sport by establishing a cost cap.
Through an interview with Sky Sport’s F1 Midweek Report, the ex-amateur racing driver stated that even though Formula 1 already has a massive following, it can still be improved through a competitive racing. A cost cap would be able to control the expenses and can ultimately make the sport more combative.
"We know that Formula 1 has a great brand and it has a great following. But certain things are necessary, one of which is that it is competitive and you have racing which is not predictable. To get that, you must keep the costs under control and then all the rest follows," said Mosley.
The 75-year-old Briton also wants to see developments in the current regulations. He believes that most of the current costs are more focused on both aerodynamic and engine performance.
"That’s the fault of the regulations which put too much emphasis on aerodynamic performance and then if you put too much emphasis on engine performance they spend a fortune on engines," said Mosley.
"In the end the only way to stop that is to draw a line and say ‘this is what you can spend’."
And for his ideas to be brought to life, Mosley asked those in control to stand their ground and make these changes although some will resist it.
"Someone from the top has to impose the show," he added.
"I know it can be enforced. What’s more difficult is to make the team which has mega money agree. If you have mega money, you have an interest in keeping the status quo."
