“We need to look at it” - Toto Wolff hints need for rule changes after “boring” F1 Azerbaijan GP
There﷽ were just 13 recorded overtakes during Sunday’s 51-lap grand prix, five fewer than in the sprint race.
With degradation🎐 better than expected on the hard tyre, there was very little action after the Safety ﷽Car as the field spread out.
Mercedes’168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton ran within one-second of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz for a number of laps but 💃couldn’t get clo🐷se enough to make the most of DRS.
Even in the midfield, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris spent a significant portion of the race stuck behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg, who hadn’t stopped like everyone else 🌞under the Safety Car.
Reflecting on the race in Baku, Wolff conceded it wasn’t “great entert𒐪ainment”.
“There was no overtaking today, ꩵeven with a big pace difference,” Wolff saꦫid.
“It made it not great entertainment. I wouldn’t know today between Aston Martin aಞnd Ferrari and us who is quicker because you’re stuck where you’re stuck and that’s pretty much i🔯t.
“But at the end it all comes dow🐻n to racing. It needs the tough battles and I think the highlight you could see yesterday was George and Max being able to battle it out. And today there was none of that.
“Even if you w🃏ere within 0.2 seconds it was nearly impossible to 💞overtake unless the other driver makes a mistake. We need to look at it and how we can make it better, how we can avoid just a boring race.
“I’m not sure that 100🥀m more DRS would have made🌌 a difference.”
Haওmilton disagreed with his team boss, questioning the FIA’s d🔥ecision to shorten the DRS zone for this year.
“They shorten🎉ed the DRS this year down the straight,” Hamilton added. “I don’🐎t quite know why they did that, we’ve always had great racing with where the DRS was.
“But by the time you switch the DRS, it was 🦹too late.”
