McLaren boss Zak Brown has urged F1 to make changes to its current cost cap regulations to allow for greater investment in sustainability.
Introduced for the 2021 season, teams are restricted on how much they can spend - this was introduced to improve the competitive landscape of F1., the base cost cap is $135m, but that is expected to increase due to inflation and the additional races scheduled.
Brown is hoping F1 makes a tweak to the rules to allow teams to focus on sustainability alongside their racing efforts. "We strongly believe in the cost cap and wouldn't want to see anything that undermines its integrity," Brown said. "But current regulations have created some unintended barriers when it comes to investing in sustainability."
"It's been fantastic to see so much support from F1 and other teams on this issue, and we're delighted that the FIA has established a working group to explore next steps."
