World Ending: Bernie making sense

Bernie Ecclestone on Friday said it was ‘wrong’ for FIA stewards to penalise Sebastian Vettel for his crash in Melbourne a week ago.

The F1 Chief Executive did not travel to Australia last week, but he has arrived at Sepang for round two, where his favourite driver Vettel will drop ten places down the grid.

Ecclestone, 78, said the Red Bull driver's penalty for colliding with BMW's Robert Kubica was not deserved.

"It was wrong," the Briton told Auto Motor und Sport. "The poor guy is punished for an accident. He lost third place.”

"If the rule is that you get punished for a collision with another driver, then soon we will have no more fights," said Ecclestone.

"We want to see more wheel-to-wheel (duels), not less," he added.

Max Mosley at the weekend said he does not believe ‘the inversion of the established order’ in Formula One can be simply reduced to the controversy about diffusers.

According to AFP France, the FIA President made the comments on a visit to Rally Portugal, adding that he has no idea which way the Court of Appeal hearing on April 14th will go.

The Briton said there are arguments ‘for and against’ the use of the so-called double or triple-step diffusers.

At Sepang last weekend, meanwhile, Ross Brawn revealed that he proposed to the F1 teams' Technical Working Group a full year ago to amend the 2009 regulations so that certain loopholes could not be exploited.

"I offered them and they were rejected, so my conscience is very clear. And those rules that I put on the table would have stopped a lot of things," he told reporters in Malaysia.

Former Honda test driver Alex Wurz agrees that, with the regulations ultimately set in stone, no-one can now complain about legitimate side-effects of the loopholes.

He told Sport Bild: "In my view Formula One has regulations, and where within these rules you are able to innovate, you do. All the teams do it, and our diffuser is a good example."

The more that comes out about the RB5, the more I like it, as it seems quite different than the rest of the grid (save, obviously, the STR4).

Mosley reveals 'world engine' plans

While visiting the new Algarve racing circuit, Max Mosley has revealed that the FIA are looking into the possibility of having a single engine formula across Formula One, WRC and Formula Two. The formula would make its entry in 2013, when the current engine regulations would stop to exist.

The FIA president said: "It would work in turbocharged form for F1 and then all the way down to naturally aspirated form for the lesser categories and in a turbocharged or naturally aspirated form for the World Rally Championship."

While there are still doubts of the feasibility, Mosley is concinved that such formula would be interesting given the current amounts of money that are invested in racing engines.

Despite the early stages, the statement at least indicates in which direction the FIA is thinking to keep the top motorsport categories payable. There is already a plan to end the current F1 engine rules after 2012 in favour of a more cost and fuel efficient design.

In other news: more reason for the Diffuser-Protesters to stuff it.

Rivals teams rejected an offer from Ross Brawn to tidy up the technical regulations 12 months ago, and head off the possibility of double decker diffuser designs being adopted.

While the row over diffusers continues to overshadow the sport, ahead of a hearing of the FIA's International Court of Appeal in April, Brawn has revealed that at a meeting of technical directors last March, he proposed modifying the rules to ensure that proper limits were introduced on areas teams could exploit.

"In March 2008 that was offered," said Brawn, when asked by AUTOSPORT about the matter.

"If I'm frank I didn't say 'look we are going to do this diffuser if you don't accept this rule' because I'm not going to tell people what we're doing, but I explained that I felt that we should have a different set of rules to simplify what needs to be done.

"I offered them and they were rejected, so my conscience is very clear. And those rules that I put on the table would have stopped a lot of things. It would have stopped the diffuser, it would have stopped all those bargeboards around the front, and it would have cleaned the cars up.

"Because it was clear that when we started to work on the regulations that there were things that you could do, and we needed to perhaps clean them up, but nobody was interested. They are interested now."

Brawn GP has been protested, along with Williams and Toyota, at the opening two races of the season for the diffuser design that rival teams do not believe are legal. The stewards at both the Australian and Malaysian Grands Prix, however, have stated that they believe the designs are within the regulations.

Despite what happened with the offer to change the rules last year, Brawn says he has not been frustrated by the protests, although he has expressed some disappointment at critical comments aimed his way by Flavio Briatore.

"I don't like some of the comments some of the other team principals are making but they are uneducated and uninformed so if they looked at the facts then they would realise that," he said.

"But I have always tried to wear two hats. One is what is good for Formula 1 and I wear that hat for a certain period, then I take that hat off and I wear the 'what's good for my team' one be it Ferrari or whoever it is.

"For sure there are periods when I am very happy to say what is good for Formula 1 and that is the period a year to 18 months before you start doing a car. What's the best thing to do?

"When we get in to designing the car and actually creating it, you can't go back then and say 'oh we have found this great new feature I had better stop it', its a different hat you have to wear.

"And everybody in F1 I hope does that. When there is plenty of time you try and get the rules in the best shape you can, and when the rules are decided you have to go flat out in producing the best car you can within those regulations."
