Russell urges FIA to not force three-stop on drivers
George Russell has expressed his opposition to the idea of a mandatory three-stop stint length for the Qatar Grand Prix, stating that it is unnecessary. The issue of tyre cuts arose due to excessive time spent on the kerbs at high speed on the Lusail Circuit. The FIA responded by adjusting track limits and considering imposing a maximum stint length or requiring drivers to change tyres three times. Russell believes that enough data can be gathered from the Sprint race to make a decision on running the main race safely. He also called for improved communication between the FIA and drivers regarding such changes.
