FIA is like: Human rights violations: nothing to see here Track limit violations: we might have to cancel this one
That being saod, cancelling Qatar F1 would be fine by me
Seems like an odd take to me. The drivers are the ones colouring outside the lines. Why should the track change?
Make the off track penalty harsher. At some point (10, 20, 30seconds?) whatever gain a driver may get from going off will be completely cancelled.
Could also remotely cap the power to the car by 20% for a lap.
Because it’s better to fix a problem rather than rule around it. Drivers will always try to get as close to the line as possible (literally in this case) so change the tracks to allow them to go harder or to make it too costly to risk.
Also people don’t like races to be decided by penalties because it seems too arbitrary and isn’t as exciting. Fix the track, improve the experience!
I completely agree.
Time penalties, while better than nothing, are far less exciting than actual racing. Especially when penalties have to be issued after a session ends.
Drivers don’t generally exceed track limits more than once at Monaco.
Question: since these cars are the sizes of SUVs these days, will smaller cars be able to stay withing the lines?
