Power is everything, even in a sport like Formula 1. The power we are discussing right now is the power of voting. A power that was not proportionally spread across the grid for the longest time. However, a new rule change for the period of 2021 to 2025 has spread this power across the entire grid. However, Red Bull boss Christian Horner is not pleased about it.

The teams need to cast their votes for every minor technical and sporting rule change. However, voting rights weren’t exactly proportionate for a long period, with six teams getting the majority of the votes. Ever since the new rule change for the 2021-2025 period, however, all teams are on equal footing now.

Now, if there’s a vote in the F1 committee, 30 votes are spread across the floor. 10 per team and the bosses, and 10 for the governing body. The majority wins, unlike a need for unanimity in the previous voting structure.

Talking to RacingNews365, Red Bull boss Christian Horner communicated his displeasure with the rule change. “One could argue the little teams have too great a voice on implementing a significant rule that can effect the top teams, with things that quite simply don’t affect them,” explained the Red Bull boss.

The boss of the only other team affected by the budget cap brought the cap into the mix. He added, “Particularly through the budget cap, I think that’s where the FIA and the promoter really need to look at.”

However, the budget cap is still in its initiation phase and will definitely evolve. Horner believes the same.

The budget cap caused a lot of drama mid-season as Red Bull argued their innocence as there was a difference in the interpretation of the rules. However, the Milton Keynes outfit was penalized nonetheless. After the dust settled, Horner admitted, the budget cap still needs to evolve.

“I think it’s a very, very complicated set of regulations. And of course, they will evolve. What I would like to see is less pressure beyond the cap moving forward,” he said.
