Mar.15 (GMM) A leading figure of the Force India team has announced his opposition to the proposed budget cap for formula one next year.
FIA president Max Mosley is determined to severely reduce spending in the expensive sport, with detailed talks about how to impose the cap due to take place during the new season.Ferrari is believed to disagree with the sport's governing body about the idea, but most of the other big teams are open to the limitation of their massive budgets.Fascinatingly, one of the smallest spenders in the paddock - albeit with significantly more to spend under new ownership this year - is also apparently unenthusiastic about the cap."All it is going to do is lead to interminable argument," Ferrari powered Force India's director of business affairs, Ian Phillips, is quoted as saying by The Times.He also thinks that, because of powerful political player Ferrari's opposition, "it's going to be mighty difficult to implement" the cap.Mosley has made it clear that the alternative to the smooth introduction of a budget cap will be more draconian limits on wind tunnels and other team resources.
