Max Verstappen believes the current rule about maximum time between Safety Car lines has created issues in the pit lane. Verstappen, along with Alonso and Russell, backed up other cars while leaving the pit lane to create a gap for clean air. All three teams argued that the pit lane was the only place to create space. Verstappen suggests that leniency from the FIA could help resolve the issue.
Investigated after qualifying at the Mexican Grand Prix for potentially impeding in the pit lane, Max Verstappen believes the “imperfect” rule about maximum time between the Safety Car lines has created the pit lane situation.
Verstappen reckons a bit of leniency from the FIA would go a long way towards at least bringing an end to the stewards’ meetings. “So, this is for me, I think we have to be a little bit more lenient with that, knowing that it’s a safe environment. We’re driving really slow, it’s the only place where we can make a gap because we drive out of the box and, of course, we at the beginning of the pit lane, we didn’t know what other people are doing.
That states that drivers must be below a set lap time with the timer for that starting when they reach the second Safety Car line that’s after the pit lane. That Leclerc feels has ruined many a lap this season. “On the other hand, it has created other problems that are not great.
