A new package of technical a﷽nd sporting regulations has been designed with the aim of bringing the field closer together and producing better racing from 2022 following the 🌸introduction of a brand new car with simplified aerodynamics. 

There are some concerns the rules overhaul could inadvertently result in one-team 🗹domination - as seen in 2009 with Brawn or 2014 with Mercedes - but McLaren boss Brown is confident the changes will make things more competitive. 

“I’d be very surprised if next year was a boring campaign with the꧋ new cars,” he said. 

“I think we’ll get some winners and losers, some surprises൩. I’d be surprised if there was dominance.

“You could get a team that is maybe domin🦋ant for a small period of t🅺ime like Brawn was when they figured out something in 2009.

“But I think with the cost💝 cap in place, you can feel the tension that’s put on the teams 🍸of, when you stop developing the car at the expense of next year, etc. So I’d be surprised if the field didn’t continue to get closer.” 

F1 had its first last-race title decider since 2016 last season as Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton battled it out for the world championship in the Abu Dhabi finale, with Ver🌃stappen going on to clinch his maiden drivers’ crown. 

And Brown is hopeful F1’s n🦄ew regulations for 2022 will help more teams and drivers find themselves 𓆉in with a shot of title glory come Abu Dhabi.

“My hopes are we go to Abu Dhabi with three or four cars that compe♉te for the championship, I think tha🦩t’s the ultimate goal,” he added. 

“I thi𒁏nk th༺e year’s been spectacular up and down the grid and I hope what’s been put in place with the new car designs, new aero package, that what we’ve seen now is just a taste of the future.
