Williams Racing is pleased to
confirm it has signed the new Concorde Agreement with Formula One ahead of
the 2021 season. The Agreement is vitally important in securing a strong
basis for the future success of the sport. The new sporting, technical and
financial regulations will be crucial in creating a more even platform for
all teams, ensuring the long-term viability and sustainability of Formula
One.
Formula One, the FIA and all 10 teams have been in negotiation for several
months to get to this stage, and Williams Racing has now officially agreed
to the new terms laid out by the Commercial Rights Holder, Liberty Media,
for five years from 2021 onwards.
Claire Williams, Deputy Team Principal of Williams Racing said: “The new
Concorde Agreement represents a
major step forward, for both Formula One and Williams. As one of the sport’s
longest running teams, we are pleased to see the future direction of Formula
One confirmed for the next era of racing. Our expectation, aligned with
Liberty Media, is that this next era will be characterised by closer and
more exciting racing as a result of the new platform of regulations, which
include more equitable revenue distribution and a first ever cost cap for
our sport. The Agreement is a major milestone in the development of Formula
One, and also represents a significant opportunity for Williams to continue
on our journey back towards the front of the grid.” |
