F1 impeding solution a “sticky plaster” to real problem, says Horner
The Brazilian Grand Prix was overshadowed by controversy surrounding a new pitlane exit rule aimed at preventing drivers from impeding each other in qualifying. However, the solution implemented at Interlagos has been heavily criticized by world champion Max Verstappen, leading to a number of grid penalties for drivers. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes that the focus should be on understanding why drivers are having to carefully manage their pace on out-laps, rather than implementing complicated regulations. He suggests investigating the root cause of the issue, such as tyre pressure or temperature, as this problem did not exist in Formula 1 for the past 50 years. Horner emphasizes the importance of addressing the core factors affecting tyre performance rather than applying temporary solutions. He acknowledges the efforts teams put into tire preparation, considering it an essential aspect of car performance in F1.
