Brawn: F1 needs to take different approach to overtaking issues

Ross Brawn hopes Formula One can work towards a set of regulations where the effect of aerodynamics on overtaking becomes more benign.

In his new role as managing director of motorsport, Brawn is responsible for putting forward the commercial rights holder's vision for the future of the sport. He has said he wants to work towards a "perfect world" formula over the next five years, in which multiple teams are competitive and on-track racing is closer and more exciting.

The new set of technical regulations for 2017 appear to have had the opposite effect, with the gap between the top two or three teams greater at the opening race in Australia than it has been for some time.
