will administrate the decision-making process.

So it's complicated and there will be lots of vested interests.

And within two years, there'll probably be more electric cars in the world than there are today.

And there'll be a lot of commercial factions.

For me, the big thing is how much power has been given to the commercial rights holder, i.e.

Liberty,

in drawing up these regulations.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Because in the past, really, the technical regulations have been drawn up by the teams and in the previous era by Bernie Eccleston and his mate Max Mosley at the FIA.

But now this is the first time in the history of Formula One that significant technical rule changes have been made
