If the rule passes, any team finishing fifth or higher would need to develop all components themselves with a three-year lead time, a task Komatsu argues would be impossible for smaller teams.
The proposed rule in question:
A proposed regulation that would require teams finishing fifth or higher in the Constructors’ standings to produce all components in-house
Is the complete proposal available to us anywhere?
Because this article isn’t clear about if the proposal means the top 5 teams will have to produce their own power units themselves as well.Eh from what I understand it’s everything but the power unit. So suspension, gearbox etc that now one customer team could buy from someone (and they usually do since the rear end of the car is highly integrated)
Huh, I wonder why they would propose that rule.
