The 2022 Formula One season has undeniably been the most hyped season in over a decade, thanks to Ross Brawn’s behind-the-scenes work in drafting and refreshing new technical regulations. The expectations were over the roof at the start of the season, with drivers and team principals, too, echoing the fans’ excitement. However, weeks into the overly hyped 2022 edition, one of the Red Bull members made a bitter admission.

Dr. Helmut Marko reckoned that the 2022 regulations were useless, considering nothing much really changed in terms of on-track competitiveness. Some of the fans could certainly relate to his words; Months into the season, Red Bull are still leading the way by a comfortable margin while Williams are still lingering at the bottom of the pack.

However, there now seems to be a bit of contradiction within the Red Bull garage over the new regulations. Sergio Perez has come up with a rather contrasting opinion to Marko’s.

The Mexican opined that it is too early for anyone to judge the 2022 regulation and demanded a bit of patience before hoping for drastic on-track changes.

Sergio Perez denies Red Bull advisor’s recent comments

As reported by Soy Motor, Perez expressed his views on the latest regulation tweaks by backing Ross Brawn’s off-track work.

“I think it is too early to judge these regulations. They have brought good races. You can follow closely, certainly, although the disadvantage is the rebound that we are experiencing,” he said.

“We are just starting a new era, so we have to give the new regulations time to go ahead and I think they should be fine.”

Prior to Perez’s comments, here’s what Marko had to say, “The speed that Ferrari and we put forward is already impressive. I mean, halfway through the grid they are one and a half seconds behind and all the rule changes that should have changed everything really didn’t do anything about it,” the Austrian had said.

Overall, the only major drawback of this year’s regulation change is the sudden return of porpoising. The aggressive bouncing of F1 cars, quite recently, forced the FIA to make certain changes to the regulations, which, unsurprisingly, triggered a load of controversy.

So, will the teams ever come to a consensus with the sport’s ongoing transition? Only time will tell.
