McLaren CEO Zak Brown says he is 'sympathetic' to Williams Formula 1's plea to be allowed to invest in new facilities, but cautioned bigger CapEx allowances can't be a general solution.
team boss James Vowles has passionately sought to give the team a way to catch up on its ageing Grove base's facilities.
However, talks to find a solution have not produced any results yet, with rival teams keen to secure bigger CapEx allowances for themselves as well if any concessions are to be made to Williams. "The problem is, once that got presented, all the other teams jumped in who then wanted to capitalise and go: 'Well, I want something'.
"The problem is if Williams gets caught up, then some teams are going to go: 'Yeah, but their stuff is newer than mine, so I want to be caught up'.
