Horner: Safety "a very easy card to stand behind" in F1 floor change row

Red Bull's Christian Horner says safety is “a very easy card to stand behind” as he questions the real motive behind proposed floor changes in F1.

Mercedes has denied this is the case, saying the floor tweaks are not guaranteed to improve its form.

“I’d actually dispute it is a safety issue,” Horner said on Sunday. “It’s down to a team how it chooses to operate its car. You can remove the porpoising very easily, but that’s at the sacrifice of performance. “Because theoretically, it’s not then the subject to a commission or a World Council vote,” Horner said.

He added that F1 had to be careful to avoid “overreacting on a few samples at a few one-off circuits” and that he was confident teams would converge in managing the issue over the winter anyway without the proposed changes.
