Verstappen wants FIA talks to avoid “messy” F1 track limits repeat at Imola
Max Verstappen has revealed that Formula 1 drivers will speak with the FIA in an attempt to avoid a repeat of the “messy” track l𒉰imits confusion sparked during the Bahrain Grand Prix.
A brilliant late battle for the lead between Lewis Hamilton and Verstappen was overshadowed by track limits rules at Turn 4. Hamilton was allowed to run wide at the corner 29 time🍃s without punishment before he was instructeꦺd to stop, while Verstappen was told to hand back the lead after illegally passing Hamilton by going off track.
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner was left frustrated by what he described as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“shades of grey” in the rules and Mercedes c🍸hief Toto Wolff also cal🌃led for greater clarity over the matter.
For this weekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the FIA will 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:impose a strict three-strike system that will🌼 be policed theꦗ same way across all three days of running at Imola.
“Things can be easily resolved if you just put a wall there or gravel, it woulꦜd help a lot,” Verstappen explained when asked for his thoughts on the track limits debate.
“In qualifying we had to stay on the kerb, so that is also what I was doing in the race, to be clean, but then of course I heard that Lewis was just going wide, so I did it for two laps, but th🥂en I was not allowed to do it any more.
“I don’t think you should be able𒈔 to change it through the race. Either you can go wi💃de, or not. I can understand of course with my overtake outside of the track limits that that’s not allowed, so that’s fine.
“But if you can🧸not gain an advan🌜tage by going wide overtaking, why are you allowed to do it on your own? That is what I think is not correct.”
Verstappen conf꧟irmed that he is seeking talks between the drivers and the FIA to ensure the guidelines d꧋o not change mid-race.
“So we will talk about that with t♓he drivers and also with Michael about it, and we’ll se🌳e what comes out of it,” he added.
“I think it was a little bit messy in the race. I think everything before thꦅat was very strict and I think good, how we handled everything.
“But definitely iꦉn the race, I think for 30 laps or something, Lewis was going wide, and you gain time there. I tried it for two laps, and then they told me not to, so it’s a bit odd.
“About my overtake an🧔d whatever, I think yeah, that was fully unde𝔍rstandable.”
