McLaren want more flexibility when it comes to car development as chief executive Zak Brown pointed out a problem in the Formula 1 cost cap era.
This season was the second in which each team had to adhere to a strict budget. As proven by the punishment received by Red Bull for overspending in 2021, the FIA is prepared to hand out financial and sporting penalties to anyone who exceeds the cap.
As well as that rule, the teams also have to comply with the sport's technical regulations, which heavily restrict what they are allowed to do in terms of their car design. Now they are hampered by a budget as well, McLaren chief Brown wants to see a little more leeway in the technical rules.
