Russell: Position drop could address off-track overtaking issue in F1
The director of the GPDA suggested that one solution to the issue of track limits is to penalize drivers with position penalties rather than time penalties. George Russell, who has been guilty of taking advantage of track limits, believes that position penalties would be a more effective deterrent. He mentioned that the issue is highly dependent on the track, as not all circuits provide clear opportunities to gain an advantage by going off the circuit. Russell emphasized that he does not enjoy racing in such a manner and that changes need to be made. He believes that the FIA should find a way to avoid drivers exploiting track limits and having a “get out of jail free” card.
