McLaren's managing
director Jonathan Neale is expecting the FIA to keep a close eye on
the performance of the new teams. A big concern is the new HRT team
who has not even turned a wheel.
They have no idea
how the car will perform on the track and will only find out on
Friday morning during the first free practice. With a limit on tyres
it will make things even more difficult.
Neale also said
that he would not like to be an MD of a team whose car has not ran
before the start of the season. "I wouldn't like to be an MD
with a car running for the first time on a GP Friday in terms of the
reliability package and how do you dial it in with such limited
running and so few tyres," he said.
"I'm sure
that the FIA will look very closely at it and if there are big gaps
in closing speeds and plenty of red flags, then they'll take the
necessary actions. And it's important that they do because we don't
want yet more casualties before the start of the season," he said. |
