Ross Brown: The rules for 2022 will continue to evolve

After a year of delays due to the pandemic, broad regulatory reforms are finally coming into play in the upcoming season. The sport spends a lot of time on them, trying to create closer, more exciting round-to-round races, and more balanced strength between teams, and Brown believes they will achieve the desired results. Still, he said they will continue to evolve as well.

"Our process doesn't stop, once we see a new car race, we'll see the team's solution and we'll evaluate it and make sure we don't lose the impetus for this plan to make the car more competitive," he said. To give you some insight into the numbers, this year's car, when it's behind the length of both bodies, it loses half of its performance, and the new car only loses 10 or 15 percent of its performance, which is a huge difference. ”

Since every team has to start from scratch when developing their car, and budget caps are being implemented, many are optimistic that the strength of these cars will be closer.

Brown doesn't think that's going to be the case at first, he hopes some teams will have a big advantage.

He said: "When the season starts, our performance may be a little bit different because everyone will come up with different solutions, but once we settle down, it will be a better platform for racing design. ”

When it comes to his experience with changing rules, he thinks he tries not to think too far.

"When I was a technical director, I always took the approach that I had to work within the rules, considering that they were the same rules for everyone, and whoever did the best in them would succeed," he said. ”
