The FIA stepped in back at the Italian Grand Prix with a rule change that has had unintended consequences.
Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc both support the idea of being more lenient with the minimum lap-time rule in qualifying in Formula 1. While they believe the rule has solved the issue of dangerous situations on track, they argue that more flexibility should be allowed in the pit-lane. Verstappen questioned how drivers can be penalized for impeding someone in the pit-lane, where they are driving at a slow speed and trying to create gaps. They believe that stricter enforcement in the pit-lane could lead to impeding in other parts of the track. Leclerc agreed with Verstappen and pointed out the danger in the final sector of Spa-Francorchamps.
