Verstappen: New F1 pitlane impeding rules "absolutely terrible"
After incidents of drivers stopping on the pitlane exit during recent races to adhere to the maximum lap time rule, the FIA has decided to ban the practice and introduce new guidelines for the Brazilian Grand Prix. The revised ruling allows drivers to create a gap between the pit exit and the second safety car line as long as they remain on the left side. However, this new rule faced criticism from Max Verstappen, who called it “absolutely terrible” and expressed concerns about the potential dangers on other tracks. The FIA intends to tailor the regulations for each circuit and is satisfied with the improved safety aspects of the solution at Interlagos. Lando Norris supported the new ruling but criticized the maximum time solution, which resulted in a reprimand for him, calling it a “silly thing” that shouldn’t be a rule.
