MW: we create a problem

Popularization of Formula 1 and attracting sponsors are among the main problems of the sport. According to the head of McLaren Martin Whitmarsh, contribute to differences among team on matters relating to the Contract Agreement and the transition to the new regulations in 2014 year.
MW: "we ourselves are creating problems that cannot be solved. Perhaps we need to get someone said: peaceful times Came, waved a piece of paper and added: here's a new contract agreement. But I'm not sure what this all ready.
It became difficult to attract sponsors. We live in the world of advertising, as the rates around the world are falling. Fortunately, we took measures, but some commands will be difficult to build a viable business model for several years.
Now Bernie Ecclestone does a fantastic job for CVC Capital. We can criticize, but he's better than us cope with things. Representing their employers, he receives at the expense of sport a lot of money. Some of it is strictly not like it, but Bernie should do so.
If teams are not working together to increase revenue share, it's their fault. I put a lot of effort in this area, but Bernie knows how to rearrange the pieces on the chess Board, isn't it?



Every second weekend we still ask myself questions. Let's move on engines V6 or will stay with the V8? We really need a turbo engine or is it better to save a naturally-aspirated engines? If I had tomorrow to speak to the Board of Directors Honda or you can try to return Toyota in Formula 1, I would have asked: What will be new rules?, I would say: in them is written something, that I would answer: recently I read that you're not going to jump on the V6.
We are perfectly able to deprive the situation of stability, teams love to publicly argue with one another, unconstructive discussing these issues. Manufacturers have long been waiting for us to transition to V6. Is it good, bad or doesn't matter, but we should do it right now. We have been talking about moving to new engines, and long delayed, and now have to do everything perfectly."
