"We already changed massively the rule of the start with the five-second story. IRAA One year ago,Iwent to the FIA. I raised the hand on the starting procedure to say 'guys it will be difficult'. S TBM UniCredit ceVA The reply was clear, that we have to design the car fitting with the regulation and not to change the regulation fitting with the car. We designed the car fitting with the regulation, the change of the five seconds, the blue light story, didn't help us at all, but lthink at one stage enough is enough." - Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur speaks out against changing F1's race-start procedure further

Poor race starts. Pretty much everyone not using a Ferrari engine is struggling with the start of a race. A year ago Ferrari mentioned this will be an issue and wanted a rules change. Other teams told Ferrari "those are the regs, deal with it". So Ferrari dealt with it while other engine manufacturers didn't. Now others want to change the rules and Ferrari is telling them "those are the regs, deal with it".
