Verstappen blasts FIA inconsistency over Qatar track changes
The FIA made changes to the track limits at Turns 12 and 13 due to tire issues discovered by Pirelli. The implementation of kerbs was believed to be the cause of the problem, leading to the track being narrowed between the turns. Max Verstappen questioned why changes could be made during this weekend but not at previous venues when drivers requested it. Safety is the top priority, but drivers feel the need to be heard more regarding track limit changes. Pirelli will submit their findings from the Sprint Race to the teams and if necessary, the FIA may mandate a three-stop race for safety reasons. Both Verstappen and Carlos Sainz criticized the FIA for their handling of the kerb issue, with Sainz expressing disappointment in the lack of communication.
