F1 teams concerned over FIA engine chief moving to competitor

If Formula One decided to move from regulation under the four-cylinder engine of the new six-cylinder format, it came as good news (or at least less bad news than originally planned) over all the people involved. With the possible exception of PUR.

As you know, started the former BAR-Honda team boss Craig Pollock has called Universal Propulsion and Energy Recovery few months ago to Cosworth, Renault, Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz as suppliers join F1 engines. The company could have won, what it is believed to be one step ahead, starting with the development of its new turbo four earliest existing suppliers. Have thrown the change of direction has a wrench in the works on the proverbial tip of the PURE in France, but his last job was helping him, back on track.

The lease in question is known Gilles Simon, also in the world of racing as a certified guru when it comes to motor sports drives. It was the brain behind the engine, the Peugeot in Le Mans program fueled in the early 90s and was followed by Jean Todt at Ferrari, the racing program you run, and death occurred in 2009, again as FIA consultant propulsion.

Now that he is leaving to join PURE FIA, motor manufacturers but also other concerns. Namely, that in his capacity with the motor sport's governing body, he was the engine specifications of each provider, the information that he could take with him to their new competitors. Looks like someone has a lot to explain.
