Formula 1’s 2017 technical rules ‘a compromise solution’ – Horner

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner doesn't believe Formula 1's 2017 technical rules go far enough, describing them as a "compromise solution".

Team bosses agreed to reduce laptimes and make the cars more exciting to drive, and whilst a basic framework has been agreed for next season, the details have yet to be worked out with a delayed deadline of April 30 now fast-approaching.

Red Bull proposed a radical approach to the new rules, but it was rejected after Mercedes and Pirelli raised concerns over safety and tyre pressures. Therefore a watered-down approach, presented by McLaren, is the most likely option to get the green-light.

Whilst Horner doesn't believe it's radical enough, he is at least happy to see the sport moving forward.

"It [agreeing the new rules] was planned for the end of February, but because nobody can decide these days it was postponed until April," Horner told the official F1 website.

"The cars will have more downforce, more mechanical grip. They will look more aggressive and be more of a challenge for the drivers. It is not carried as far as we would have liked – it’s a compromise solution – so let’s see. It is better than standing still."

Horner expects teams will have already begun switching resources from 2016 to 2017 now they know roughly what is changing.

"We’ve always enjoyed regulation changes on the chassis side. The team relishes the opportunity. That is the car side. Power unit-wise we will have to see.

"As we already know with a fair degree of certainty what the regulations are for next year, I should think all teams are now balancing their resource between 2016 and 2017."
