Teams should be obliged to build and design own car - Ecclestone

By on

In an interview with 'Auto Motor und Sport', Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has declared that he doesn't want customer teams in the pinnacle of motorsport. According to Ecclestone if you're not a constructor, you should not be in F1.

Ecclestone declared: "We know what a customer team is. I don't think it should be allowed to happen. When I go and buy a complete car from somebody else and race it because I am afraid to compete on my own against the manufacturers, then we will soon have four McLarens and four Ferraris on the grid with all the problems such a situation provokes. If the championship is at stake, they are going to help each other. We should go back to where we started and have constructors. If you are not a constructor, you should not be in Formula One. You should be obliged to build and design your own car."
