1978 world champion Mario Andretti has joined the calls for formula one to reconsider its engine plans for 2013.<\/p>\n
Mercedes’ Ross Brawn and Sauber’s Monisha Kaltenborn admitted last week that a “debate” is raging behind the scenes about whether the sport should as scheduled drop its current 2.4 litre V8 engine regulations after next year.<\/p>\n
“I agree with Bernie Ecclestone (in) not liking the proposed 4-cylinder turbo engine formula for 2013,” Andretti wrote on Twitter.\u00a0 “Booring!!”<\/p>\n
It is believed Ferrari is also opposed to the 2013 rules, which have been championed by the famous Italian team’s former boss Jean Todt, who is now FIA president.<\/p>\n
Curiously, Ferrari revealed that Frenchman Todt visited the team’s Maranello headquarters on Wednesday, meeting with president Luca di Montezemolo.<\/p>\n
