Brawn won't sit back if fans are disappointed

Formula 1 sporting director Ross Brawn is committed to improve Formula 1 racing and has promised to react of fans are disappointed with the on-track show.

The sport has ushered in a new set of regulations this year with faster cars destined to offer better racing although with fears that overtaking could be harder.

But Brawn has pledged to make changes if the racing does not live up to the fans expectations.

"If we see things this year that we don't think are great for the sport, then we will be fighting our corner, and we will be fighting at every level," Brawn said on Friday.

"You can rest assured that we will be working with the teams and working with the FIA to find solutions if we don't feel the racing is as good as it should be."

As he works to define the sport's future, Brawn targets to change F1's approach on aerodynamics with a formula delivering fast cars capable of following each other closely.

"If you look at the configuration of the aerodynamics we have, we have cars with very complicated bodywork structures which create very sensitive flow regimes around the structures," he said.

"It means as soon as they are disturbed by a car in front, they suffer.

"So can we come up with a set of regulations where we can still use the power of aerodynamics to give us the speed and spectacle of the cars, but in a more benign way so they can at least race each other more closely without it having an impact?

"That is my ambition, that is my objective."

"I have heard it said that some of the cars out there do race each other quite well with large aerodynamic performances, so the sportscars for instance, and IndyCar aren't suffering so badly.

"So a proper campaign, a concerted campaign, would definitely take us in the right direction on that. I am convinced of that."
