After following motorsport and F1 in particular for 25 years I must confess to being confused by the budget cap proposals.

"The FIA will allow those teams that sign up to the budget cap to have increased technical freedom to make it easier to compete with the uncapped teams. This includes adjustable front and rear wings as well as an engine that can run without a rev limit.

In addition, the budget cap teams will be allowed unlimited testing outside of the racing season, and will not be restricted by the wind tunnel scale and speed stipulations "

As I understand it if you commit to spend less cash you can have more freedom to explore technical solutions with less testing restrictions and unlimited RPM. Not sure how that adds up? Do more and spend less? Discuss.........

I Suppose you have to focus on which areas give you the most bang for your buck.
