Haas boss Gunther Steiner believes that the rule changes in 2021 will not make the field to a level playing field all of a sudden.
Big changes are expected in a couple of years’ time, with a budget cap set to be the main challenge for the big boys.
However, Steiner does not believe that the budget cap or the other rule changes will tighten the field.
He said: “Am I confident that in 2021 the level playing field is there? I’m confident it will not be but it will get closer to it.
“But it’s a process. We need to be fair. I think it has moved too far apart everything and you can’t bring it back within a day. It took a long time to get this far apart, it will take some time to bring it together.

“I think what Liberty Media is trying to do [is] to have a process that everybody is happy and to make it go in the right direction. In the process what they need to be careful is they are not losing anybody out of it because the change is too drastic.
“It’s not an easy job for them to do. It needs to be done but they need to be diligent and careful not to move something to upset on the other side.”
