Bosses from a number of Formula 1﷽ teams have expressed their anger over the possibility of recent FIA technical chief Mඣarcin Budkowski joining Renault, with one calling a possible move “entirely inappropriate”.

Budkowski tendered his resignation at the FIA earlier this week, with F1’s governing body confiꦑrming he had been placed on garden🌳ing leave for three months.

Budkowski has acted as the main point of reference for any teams seeking clarity regarding the technical regulations, giving him insight into the entire grid’s car d💜esigns and plans.

Reports emerged o🌳n Friday in Sep🅺ang that Budkowski could be set for a role at Renault once his gardening leave is over, leading to an angry response from F1 team bosses about the prospect.

“We take major issue w🅠ith that, if he does end up in another team,” Red Bull F1 chief Christian Horner said.

“In thesಞe individuals you place a great amount of trust in the role Marcin has been responsible for. He’s been in an extremely privileged position where he’s extremely recently been in people’s wind tunnels, been looking at intimate details of knowledge of next year’s cars.

“I think three months’ notice period for him to then turn up in a competitor team in Formula 1 is entirely inappropriate, so I certainly hope that isn’t the case and I’m sure it wil꧒l get discussed quite seriously at the next Strategy Group meeting.

“It’s an important, vital role and it’s important teams have trust and faith in the governing body that they can share and discuss their technical know-how, their technical secrets in many respects, which co♊st millions and millions of pounds, and in confidence that information doesn’t have the ability to end up at a rival team.”

The time frame before Budkowski should be able to join another team was also discussed by Force India boss Otmar Szafnauer, who said three months is “nowhere near long enou🌸gh”.

“It has to be long 𒉰enough such that the technology that he’s aware becomes, not obsolete but not leading edge,” he cꦯontinued.

“I think there’s some sporting regulations too that prohibit us from selling current-year cars for exactly the same reason, the cars have𝔉 to bౠe exactly one year before we can dispose of them.

“It’s for that reason and I think n🌸otice periods should follow along t🌺he same lines.”

“I think industry standard for the sort of role Marcin has been performing would be anywhere b🍰etween 12 and 18 months,” Horner added.

“We woul💞d certainly look to place a senior personnel on our team on at least 12 months’ gardening leave.”

Mercedes F1 chief Toto Woℱlff൩ acknowledged the need to review the timings involved to ensure clarity for all teams.

“We need to be transparent with the FIA and give the access,” Wolff said. “Therefore in order to have the full trust of the teams it is important to have a cer♔tain stability and understanding about how quick someone can leave the FIA and join another com💮petitive team.”

The swiftness of Budkowski joining another team was also McLaren racing director Eric Boullier’s chief concern, ღsuggesting it could hurt the trust placed in the FIA’s processes.

“I think we are all a bit con🧸cerned about a senior figure from the FIA having access to all data can be within three months working for a team, which I guess is 💯common sense,” Boullier said.

“When you build your cars, there is always an interpretation of the regulations, so you sometimes got in touch with the FIA to seek their interpretation to s🍰ee if you are on🌃 the right path or not.

“That trust level can be damaged if something happened again like the Budkowski case. It’s a question 💟to raise it to the right people and see if something can be done differently.”

However, Boullier felt that any changes made to the process would only affect future deals, sayin♐g it was “too late” to resolve the Budkowski matter.

“Of course it's too late. We are going to ask the FIA is it possible to do differently because we bel🦩ieve it’s not the way it should be,” Boullier said.

“෴There have been many cases in the past, back to the ‘90s when the software code was a big issue in Formula 1. You can’t stop somebody to go to work somewhere🃏, you have to respect the rules and the law in different countries.

“B⛦u🍌t we believe for a senior person there is a minimum.”

Renault is ye❀t to issue any comment responding to reports that Budkowski could be set to join its team once his thr🦄ee-month period of gardening leave is complete.
