Bernie Ecclestone plans to see F1’s major teams decide the technical regulations could hit a legal roadblock.<\/p>\n

\"Bernie-Ecclestone-1\"When revealing that all the teams have agreed to a new Concorde Agreement for 2013, the sport’s chief executive said recently: “Now what we’ve got to do is look at how the technical regulations are made.<\/p>\n

“It should be the teams, though not all the teams, who do that.\u00a0 They are the people who have to come up with the money, not the FIA.<\/p>\n

“It would be the established teams who are here to stay – Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes and probably Williams as old timers – deciding what to do.”<\/p>\n

A ‘legal insider’, however, questioned Ecclestone’s plan to have the teams make the rules and the FIA simply police them.<\/p>\n

“It affects competition,” the source told Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport, “because it gives the teams that determine the rules – and therefore know what they are before anyone else – an unfair advantage.<\/p>\n

“That would amount to an abuse of power,” added the source.<\/p>\n

The FIA, who currently write the F1 rules, is yet to sign up to the 2013 Concorde.<\/p>\n

The insider said the Jean Todt-led federation, or the teams not selected to write the rules, could legally challenge Ecclestone’s plans.<\/p>\n
