F1 team bosses at Brazilian GP raise fears over mandatory two-stop race
At the Brazilian Grand Prix, multiple team principals expressed concerns about the proposed mandatory two-stop rule in F1 races, as it was previously trialed at Monaco GP with negative feedback from viewers and drivers.
Pirelli’s Mario Isola suggested the idea to enhance the entertainment value of the sport following a lack of race strategy variety in recent grands prix.
Team principals like Williams’ James Vowles, McLaren’s Andrea Stella, and Racing Bulls’ Alan Permane raised doubts about the proposed rule, warning that it might eliminate race variability if all teams are forced into the same strategy.
Permane emphasized the importance of tires demanding a two-stop race to avoid a monotonous outcome, while Stella stressed the significance of tire degradation for race unpredictability.
Vowles pointed out that implementing a mandatory strategy might lead all teams to choose the same approach, diminishing the excitement for viewers and teams alike.
