I think there&#8217;s definitely some rule changes that are definitely a step in the right direction. I think some of the stuff around the kind of power you get from the boost button &#8211; I&#8217;ll be honest with you. There&#8217;s a lot of rules. I still need to actually look through and see what specifically that changes &#8211; so it&#8217;s still complex. With the engines we&#8217;ve got there&#8217;s always going to be a compromise somewhere. I think for me, the biggest thing has been the kind of coordination and collaboration between the drivers teams, F1 and the FIA, it&#8217;s been actually quite refreshing, I think for, especially some of the, the older guys to see the collaboration. But time will tell. I think there probably will need to be some further tweaks, how easy they are to implement this year, we don&#8217;t know. But I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;ll be some changes probably next year in the future, but it&#8217;s definitely going in the right direction. So hopefully we see that on show in Miami.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportmediaset.mediaset.it\/formula1\/byd-conferma-stiamo-discutendo-l-ingresso-in-formula-1_111331482-202602k.shtml\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BYD conferma: &#8216;Stiamo discutendo l&#8217;ingresso in Formula 1&#8217; (SportMediaset &#8211; Italian)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Suggestions of a possible entry have been swirling in recent weeks, and now confirmation has come directly from Stella Li, vice president of BYD: &#8216;We met Stefano Domenicali (CEO of Formula 1, ed.) in Shanghai.
