The topic of track limits has been a point of contention at the start of the 2021 F1 season, largely due to a ౠnumber of high-profile infringements made by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

Verstappen was forced to give back the lead to Hamilton at the season-opener in Bahrain after he passed the Mercedes driver beyond the white lines at Turn 4 before the Dutchman also losไt pole position and the fastest lap bonus point in Portugal f🎃or track limits abuse.

The Dutchman called for a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“hard-line” rule on track limits ahead of last week🌳end’s Spanish Grand Prix and the matter was discussed by the teams during a meeting in Barcel💖ona.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner - who has been left 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:frustrated by the “brutal” decisions that have gone against his teamཧ this se🙈ason - confirmed a working group is being formed to try and tackle the problem.

“Obviously it wasn't an issue at this track because of the layout,” Horner said after Sunday’s race. “And I꧅ think t🅺hat tells you something, doesn’t it?

“So why wasn’t it an issue here and it is at other venues? It won't be a pro𒀰blem next race and probably not the one after that.

“There'sꦬ been som🌊e healthy discussion, there's a working group being created,” he added.

“We just need to come up with something that’s simple, clear, and understandab💜le for drivers, fans, team, you know, etc. It shouldn't be♑ that difficult.”

Meanwhi✤le, Ferrari teaღm principal Mattia Binotto called for a “simpler” solution to the issue.

“I think what we need to do is꧅ something simpler for fans about track limits,” he explained. “At the end of the race or during the race, it🍨 is never good for the show.

“I don't think taking ful♔l freedom, whatever it is you take advantage of whatever the 𓄧case may be.

“So keep it simple, I think about what's effective or not. So I see my from my𒀰 side, I see other simple solutions that would be ⛎the best.”

However, McLaren’s Andreas Seidl warned there would be “millions of infringements" if F1 tried to police track limits at every corner using the white lines, adding ♉he believes there is “no short-term solution availaဣble”.

F1 race director Michael Masi said “ideally we would love to have a hard limit ꦑeverywhere” but warned that a ‘one size fits all' solution is difficult to achieve given the variety of circuits the championship visits across the season.

“The fac🔥ts are with the circuits that it’s been an ongoing evolu🦹tion process,” he explained.

“There’s some places that are track limit issues one year, aren’t the next and vice-versa. So it’s an ongoing evolution that we’🅘re working together 🧸with each of the circuits. Obviously it requires significant investment from them from that perspective.

“In one sense it would be lovely to have walls everywhere, as we’ll see in a couple of weeks time in Monaco or in Baku. But obviously we’re racing at different types of circuits all the time, when we look at everything from a safety perspective, we need to find the best balance of everything in each and every situation. And each corner’s d🔯ifferent, each circuiꦚt’s different.”
