Alpine's Otmar Szafnauer believes rules regarding race finishes in F1 are fine as they are despite a choatic end to the Australian GP earlier this month.
Alpine's Otmar Szafnauer says Formula 1's race finish rules are"fine as they are" despite an unpalatable end to the Australian Grand Prix.The Melbourne race was red-flagged for a third and final time on Lap 57 of 58 after a chaotic restart, which prompted a 30-minute delay to work out how the event would finish.
As it transpired, FIA race control followed the rulebook to a tee with the way the race finished, but questions were raised on whether the rules themselves need to be revisited to prevent a repeat of the Albert Park chaos.left without points after his collision with Gasly, felt the rules are"fine as they are" as it's impossible to cater for every scenario.
"The rules are what they are, and whatever they are, you can't change them in race. After the season, if you look back at it, it will be 50-50 whether that's good or bad, because we will have so many different scenarios where at one time it helps and the other time it doesn't."My true belief is that we can have these scenarios... you've got to set the rules at the beginning and then stick to them.
