Christian Horner says his idea to employ an independent 'consultant' to oversee discussions and implementation of new r🔯ules and regulations within F1 has not developed further after other teams and the governing body opposed it.

A staunch critic of the current regulations, Horner has lobbied to get certain regulations changed for 2017, but plans to instigate change through the Strategy Group has repeatedly stumbled as vested interests amongst the differen💮t figures make coming to a final conclusion difficult.

Indeed, Horner has been critical of the Strategy Group in the past and has challenged the governing body to takeꦕ control of the situation by laying down the regulations in its vision and then leaving it up to the teams to participate or quit.

However, Horner did also raise the suggestion that it should consider consulting an𓂃 knowledgeabꦐle and independent figure to help draw conclusions in the interests of the sport, w🌜ith n൲ow-retired former Ferrari, Brawn and Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn highlighted as an example.

Nonetheless,💖 though the pᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚlan drew a positive reaction outside the paddock, Horner says teams and the governing body have dismissed it.

"Unfortunately the teams and the governing body did like it so it didn't go any further," he told mahbx.com. "Ross would be an obvious type of candidate as he has been ar🌳ound the sport for a number of years, understands the technical sporting side extremely well and i🌟sn't aligned to any team at this time, but he's probably enjoying his fishing too much."

Despite this, change is on the horizon foജr 2017 regardless and though many are conce🙈rned the radicalness of what is being proposed can't be attained in that time, Horner is confident that F1 in less than 18 months' will look very different.

"I think Formula 1 needs to be spectacular, it needs to be 🍷challenging, with the fastest cars and the cars need to leave you with a wow factor. Then there has got to be the best drivers in the world and be racing them wheel-to-wheel flat out rather than lift and coast elements. We need to get back to straightforward sprint races with the best drivers in the world in the best cars in the world.

"I do think it is achievable in 20ౠ17. I think 2017 represents a blank canvass and the🔯re is a real opportunity to get it right. The things we are looking at are going in the right direction."
