Athletistic / Formula 1. Red Bull’s three-time world champion Max Verstappen has called on the International Automobile Federation (FIA) to review pit lane exit rules. The FIA recently introduced minimum lap times, which has seen many drivers attempt to use the pit lane to improve their position.
“It’s very imperfect at the moment. We have to find something else, but it’s really difficult. What I don’t understand is how you can interfere with someone in the pit lane.”
I think we need to be a little more lenient about it because at the start of the pit lane you obviously don’t know what everyone else is doing, so you’re constantly trying to judge the distance between the cars.
Nobody wants to start a lap three or four seconds behind someone else because it’s bad. But on the other hand, if we hadn’t had such a minimum lap time, we might have had to face problems again in the last sector. Therefore, in my opinion, it will be quite difficult to find a good compromise now,” Racingnews365 quotes verstappen.
Max Verstappen has won the Formula 1 world championship for three consecutive seasons.
