George Russell claims that most of the Formula 1 drivers are in favour of competitors receiving position drops over time
During this season, there has been a heightened debate surrounding track limits, especially when it comes to drivers gaining an unfair advantage by going off track. The current penalty for this is a five-second time penalty, but many argue that it is not a strong enough deterrent, especially for drivers in top teams who can make up the time lost. There have been discussions about whether position drops or time drops should be the punishment, with most drivers leaning towards position drops. Charles Leclerc and others believe that finding a solution is important because the current penalties are not a good look for Formula 1. However, progress has been made, as the FIA agreed to increase track limits at the Circuit of the Americas after pressure from drivers. Overall, there is a hope that a solution can be found to improve consistency and fairness in penalizing drivers for going off track.
