Jordan calls on teams to accept changes
Eddie Jordan has urged Formula 1's top teams to abandon their scepticism to the proposed cost-cutting measures, according to a story in this week's AUTOSPORT magazine
The Jordan team boss sees nothing wrong with the FIA's plans, which could slash 150 million pounds per year off the cost of F1. However, some of his fellow team bosses have been less enthusiastic.
"The first thing the team owners must think about is the welfare of the championship, rather than anyone's personal gain," he said. "I am trying to do that and I logically cannot see any downside - please someone tell me what it is.
"These changes will make F1 more efficient, cheaper and improve the show."
FIA president Max Mosley's plan has three key cost-cutting elements: reducing GPs to just two days, limiting engine supplies to one per car per weekend and forcing manufacturers to make their engines available to a second team on demand.
The sport's leading figures are scheduled to meet after the Malaysian GP to vote on whether to accept the changes.
