Red Bull team boss Christian Horner says Formula 1 “de﷽sperately” needs to place a greater emphasis on driver talent and skill under its revised technical regulations for the 2021 season.

F1 is set to overhaul its r🎐ule book in 2021, with the technical regulations due to broad agreement by the end of June𒁏 amid a push for a more competitive and exciting on-track spectacle.

Speaking in Monaco last week, Hor✨ner said his greatest hope from the 2021 rules was that drivers could become the greatest variable again, taking some of the onus away from car or team performance.

“Hopefully the concept of what they are looking at shouܫld put more inference on the driver to be a bigger variable than he or she currently can be,” Horner said.

“Tha✤t’s what Formula 1 desperately needs. It needs the drivers very much to be the stars, to be modern day chariot racers and that we have wheel-to-wheel, exciting𝔉, and, to a degree, unpredictable racing.

“Because serial winning like we have at the moment, the teams in many respects are getting too good at predicting t🔜he outcome of a weeken🌠d with the updates they introduce.

“Hats off to Mercedes. They’ve done a better job tha💫n anybody to be in the position they are, but hopefully 🧸the technical regulations will be the biggest driver to shuffle that around and change that, and hopefully introduce more variance.”

F1’s technical rules are widely expected to be agreed by the end of June, with final agree🔜ments on commercial and spor𝄹ting aspects for 2021 due to be struck by the end of this year.
