If there is one thing that has bothered Max Verstappen since the start of the current racing season it is the FIA’s enforcement of track limits, especially the arbitrariness with which this sometimes seems to happen. The Dutchman, who not only saw his pole position and fastest lap go up in smoke due to track limits, is now supported by his colleagues, who also call for a more consistent approach from the FIA.
“As a driver, I can only speak for myself. But personally, I would like the curb to be the track limit because we can feel the vibrations there”, Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver explained, as reported by Motorsport-Total.com last week.
At the same time, the Ferrari driver, who is now focused on his home Grand Prix on the streets of Monte Carlo, is above all asking for “consistency” from the FIA. “I think we drivers all agree on that”, he said.
Return of gravel box
Scuderia Ferrari Spanish driver Carlos Sainz also prefers to see the white line disappear as a reference point. Instead, he advocates the return of the gravel box or grass. “For me, the best solution would be gravel or grass behind the curb. Then we would have no discussion about white lines or curbs”, said Carlos Sainz, who sees himself supported by his Ferrari teammate.
