Williams team principal James Vowles has spent the last month aggressively lobbying the Formula 1 paddock for a massive overhaul to the sport's financial regulations. Claiming that the newly combined $215million CapEx/OpEx budget cap has created a "two-tier championship" where the top four teams hoard 83% of the points, Vowles is pushing for a sliding scale allowance based on championship position.
The proposed mechanism would theoretically allow lower-ranked teams to spend significantly more money rebuilding their outdated factory infrastructure without hitting the operational ceiling.
