In a fairly long telephone interview (pleasantly surprised at the time he was able to set aside), three-time Formula 1 world champion weighed in on the proposed 2014 technical regulations.

The topic was only briefly touched on but personally it was a relief to know that Stewart doesn’t oppose the regulations, but questions only the timing.

On the face of it, an engine formula that cuts fuel economy while retaining current power levels and has relevance for the automobile industry that forms the backbone of motorsports can only be a good thing. Hopefully the timing of the move won’t be an issue.
