"So in a cost cap world it's a question that you have to ask – if it makes sense that you go with such complicated technology if there is no difference in performance? “So that's that was the reason why we are in talks and why I think as a sport we have to ask these questions, and think about is it making sense that we make things a bit simpler?"
