F1 needs “immediate action” over pitlane impeding problem, says Stella
The introduction of a maximum lap-time for qualifying outlaps has unintentionally caused drivers to build up gaps to cars ahead of them, resulting in instances of impeding and frustration among competitors. Max Verstappen, George Russell, and Fernando Alonso were investigated for impeding other drivers in Mexico, but were cleared of wrongdoing. However, there is a need for urgency in finding a better solution, according to Stella, as it has become unfair for those being held up. Lando Norris believes the problem of impeding is now out of control and has become a bigger issue than the one it was meant to solve. Drivers are pushing the limits and creating larger gaps because there have been no penalties or consequences for impeding.
