Monaco: Thursday Press Conference

Participating:: Ron Dennis (McLaren Mercedes), Nick Fry (Honda), Mario Theissen (BMW Sauber), Jean Todt (Ferrari) .

Q. Do you think this year's rule changes have worked? And what do you think of the future plans as being considered for 2011?


Nick Fry: I think this year's rules have had some benefits in closing up the field. From our own point of view, it has not been beneficial yet, but I think for the quality of the grid and the racing it has been a good thing.

One thing I would say is the absolute importance of aerodynamics in the framework of the current rules with the engines similar to each other and the tires the same, it does throw a lot of emphasis on one particular area and the question really is the relevance of that area.

We are all working like crazy on very clever aerodynamics, a lot of time and money is going into that, but the question is does it have any real relevance to the outside world. I'll save my answer on that one for the second part of your question.

Q. But in general about this year's rules, it is good?


NF: Yes, it is favorable. More….
