F1 Teams Are Split Over Talks on Budget Reform Delay

A split has emerged between Formula 1 teams as talks over the future of the sport reach a critical stage.

Half the teams object to plans to postpone the finalisation of a budget cap for 2021 from June until October.

Alfa Romeo, McLaren, Racing Point, Renault and Williams believe it is a back-door attempt by big teams to water down cost restrictions.

But Mercedes and Ferrari reject the claim and say the proposed 2021 rules are “immature” and need more work.
