Max Verstappen says F1 needs another solution to avoid impeding after finding himself at the heart of an investigation following Mexico City Grand Prix qualifying.
Verstappen, Russell and Alonso are being investigated by the FIA stewards for causing congestion in the pitlane during the final Q1 runs at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Verstappen expressed surprise at being called before the stewards and stated that everyone is trying to create a gap in the pitlane. He argued that since there is a maximum time limit on laps in qualifying, the pitlane is the only place where drivers can safely create a gap. Verstappen suggested that there should be more leniency in impeding penalties in the pitlane, as it is a safe environment where drivers are constantly trying to judge a gap. He emphasized the need to find a compromise in these situations.
