Driver-turned pundit Martin Brundle believes Formula One is currently at a pivotal moment in its history.
Lingering in the background of the new F1 season are the ongoing negotiations about the next set of regulations, set to start in 2021. Last year Ferrari, the longest-serving team on the grid, threatened to quit the sport when it saw the first proposal of the next engine formula.
F1 hopes the new rules entice new manufacturers to the sport by driving costs down and simplifying some of the specifications of engines. Also included are discussions about a budget cap and redistributing the sport's revenues more evenly among teams.
