Whilst F1 and the FIA has tried to get on top of a key issue during qualifying, a new workaround became apparent for drivers at the Mexico City Grand Prix. Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff believes a meeting between drivers and the governing body is crucial in finding a solution.
Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff has urged the FIA to have a discussion with Formula 1 drivers and find a solution to the issue of impeding during qualifying sessions. The introduction of a maximum lap time at the Italian Grand Prix was an attempt to prevent traffic congestion on entry to certain corners, and this measure has been repeated at subsequent races. However, drivers have now resorted to standing stationary at the pit exit to create gaps between themselves and their competitors. While some drivers, like Max Verstappen, have received reprimands for this behavior, others have escaped penalties due to the challenges posed by the maximum lap time rule. Wolff proposes that the FIA should consult with the drivers and Sporting Directors to determine the desired outcome and how to achieve it. Ultimately, the goal is to avoid any impeding during qualifying and ensure that no one gets stuck in the pit lane.
