Bosses from a number of Formula 1 te🐠ams have expressed their anger over the possibility of recent FIA technical chief Marcin Budkowski joining Renault, with one calling a possible move “entirely inappropriate”.

Budkowski tendered his resignation at the FIA earlier this week, with F1’s governing body con🔯firming he had been placed on gardening leave for three months.

Budkowski has acted as the main point of reference for any teams seeking clarity regarding the technical regulations, giving him insight into the entire grid’s car🤪 designs and plans.

Reports emerged on Friday in Sepang that Budkowski could be set for a role at Rena♏ult once his gardening leave is oveꦡr, leading to an angry response from F1 team bosses about the prospect.

“We take major issue with that, if he does end up in another team,🍌” Red Bull F1 chief Christian Horner💯 said.

“In these indi♉viduals you place a great amount of trust in the role Marcin has been responsible for. He’s been in an extremely privileged position where he’s extremely recently been in people’s wind tunnels, be𝔍en looking at intimate details of knowledge of next year’s cars.

“I think three months’ notice period for him to then turn up in a competitor team in Formula 1 is entirely inappropriate, so I certainly hope that isn’t the case and I’m sure it w✃ill get discussed quite seriously at the next Strategy Group 🍨meeting.

“It’s an important, vital role and it’s important teams have trust and faith in the governing body that they can share an𒁃d discuss their technical know-how, their technical secrets in many respects, which cost millions and millions of pounds, and in confidence that information doesn’t have the ability to ♛end up at a rival team.”

The time frame before Budkowski should be able to join anot𝔉her team was also discussed by Force India boss Otmar Sz𒁃afnauer, who said three months is “nowhere near long enough”.

“It has to be long enough such that the technology that h🐼e’s aware becomes, not obsolete but not leading edge,” he continued.

“I 🐽think there’s some sportﷺing regulations too that prohibit us from selling current-year cars for exactly the same reason, the cars have to be exactly one year before we can dispose of them.

“It’s for that reason and I think notice periods should follow along the 𝕴same lines.”

“I think industry standard for the sort of role Marcin has been performing would be anywhere between 12 and 18 months,” Horner a🍷dded.

“We would certainly look to place a senior personnel on ou𝔉r team on at least 12 months’ gardening ♚leave.”

Mercedes F1 chief Toto Wolff acknowledged the need to review the timings 𒉰involved to ensure clar♚ity for all teams.

“We need to be transparent with the FIA and give the access,” Wolff said. “Therefore in order to have the full trust of the teams it is importan💎t to have a certain stability and understanding about how quick someone can leave the FIA and join another competitive team.”

The swiftness of Budkowski joining another team was also McLaren racing director Eric Boullier’s chief concern, suggesting it could hurt the trust placed in the FIౠA’🦹s processes.

“I think we are all a bit concerned about a sen🎀ior figure from the FIA having access to all data can be within three mꦦonths working for a team, which I guess is common sense,” Boullier said.

“When you build your carsꦰ, there is always ꦗan interpretation of the regulations, so you sometimes got in touch with the FIA to seek their interpretation to see if you are on the right path or not.

“That trust level can be damaged if something happened again like the Budkowski case. It’s a question to rꦆaise it to the right people and see if something can be done differently.”

However, Boullier felt that any changes made to the process would only affect future deals, saying it was “too lateꦉ” to resolve the Budko♎wski matter.

“Of course it's too late. We are going to ask the FIA is it possible to do differently because we believe it’s not the way it🙈 s🐟hould be,” Boullier said.

“🍸There have been many cases in the past, back to the ‘90s when the software code was a big issue in Formula 1. You can’t stop somebody to go to work somewhere, you have to respect the rules and the law in different countries.

“But we believe for a senior ཧperson there is a minimum.”

Renault is yet to issue any comment responding 🐼to reports that Budkowski could be set to join its team once his three-month period of gardening leave is complete.
