McLaren team principal Andrea Stella is seeking F1 rule changes in three major safety areas, as the reasons behind his thinking are explained.
The safety issues in Bahrain during this week are crucial for F1 testing to address before the Australian Grand Prix. McLaren boss Andrea Stella emphasized the need for responsible discussions among the 11 teams and the FIA to tackle concerns like race starts, managing energy demands, and closing speeds between cars. One major worry is the absence of the MGU-H in the new power units and the challenges it poses during launch sequences. The increased energy demands and varying requirements of lift and coast in different race environments also require driver adaptation and strategic planning. These discussions will continue during the second test in Bahrain, aiming to enhance safety and performance in the upcoming F1 season.
