Although there appears to be widespread support for efforts to reduce power, there is considerable confusion over the whys and the hows. The hows are still more muddled. Although none of the engine manufacturers can be said to embrace the concept of reducing the turbo boost, Honda and, to a lesser extent, Mercedes-Benz, have been highly critical of talk of reducing the turbo boost pressure from the current 40in to 34in of mercury. It's about what the future engine direction is. The engine manufacturers are our partners and at the next board meeting we're going to hear from the senior management of the four engine companies.
Nobody likes changes, but sometimes it's necessary.
There is general agreement that we need to slow the cars down. It's not just about power. It's also about aerodynamics, so it's not going to all fall on the engine manufacturers. This was always about a total package involving the engines and the chassis. Because we'll see all the cars stacked on top of each other just like they were during that stretch during the race when everyone was running lean to conserve fuel.
