Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner criticized the parc fermé regulations during F1 Sprint weekends, calling them a “joke” and stating that there is a need for modification and improvement. He believes that teams should have more than just one session to set up their cars before qualifying. The recent controversy at the United States Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified for excessive skid-block wear, highlighted the flaws in the current system. Horner suggests involving fans in the decision-making process to ensure their satisfaction and to make the format more rewarding for drivers and teams.
