Scuderia Ferrari has raised concerns over plans for more standard parts and limited aerodynamic development in the 2021 Formula One season l.

As negotiations continue to agree on a final set of regulations, Formula 1 bosses have pushed to reduce costs by putting several parts, including brake and fuel systems out to tender to be produced by a single supplier.

However, from the start, Scuderia Ferrari has been resistant to such efforts fearing it jeopardises the DNA of the sport.

“I think we kept a consistent comment on that as Ferrari. We are against the principle of standardisation unless it’s bringing very significant cost savings in both quality and performance to be somehow granted,” the Italian side’s team boss Mattia Binotto explained at Silverstone.

“The degree of freedom in aero is also something which we are always very keen and insistent on.”

Further limits are expected to be placed on where teams can develop their cars aerodynamically to avoid undoing the efforts to produce cars that can race closely as well as close up the field.

However, the current development race that takes place each year is still expected to feature.

“In the objective of 2021, aero has to remain a performance differentiator. I think that’s the objective we got,” Mattia Binotto added – “There are still weeks to choose whatever regulations we will set for 2021 is a proper one. I think for that reason as well it’s been important to postpone to October instead of June because we felt it was not ready enough.

“I think there is still a constructive and positive collaboration with F1 and FIA but it’s far from closed.” – he concluded.
