Christian Horner, team representative for Red Bull F1, feels that the current F1 is “over-regulated” and sarcastic that he misses the late Charlie Whiting, a former F1 race director.
Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, who are competing for the F1 title, caused many incidents at the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Sunday and visited Steward after the race.
Christian Horner said the rules were too many to be controlled by Steward and race director Michael Masi, and the discipline of longtime F1 race director Charlie Whiting, who died suddenly in 2019, was on Sunday. He added that he was racing in the chaotic race at Jeddah.
“As I’ve said for too long, we’re over-regulated,” said Christian Horner.
“There is a rule about the distance between cars for 10 cars, but the formation lap at the time of restart is not the formation lap.”
“I feel like there are too many rules. Today, sports feel like I missed Charlie Whiting. I’m sorry, his experience …”
“It’s obviously frustrating, but for Michael (Mashi) and Steward, it’s Mus Kashii, especially for this type of circuit with this type of venue, debris volume, and corner type, but it’s the same for everyone. “
“I think they were a tough race to manage today. Obviously there was a lot of debris there.”
“In the race there were various incidents, safety cars, virtual safety cars, restarts that were difficult to track in control, and obviously there was a lot of traffic back and forth.”
“I think the race had a lot of lessons to be discussed in detail over the next few weeks.”
Christian Horner has been penalized with a five-second penalty during a Sunday race in Saudi Arabia after Max Verstappen was penalized with a grid at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix two weeks ago, and Red Bull has recently decided on a steward. He added that he was disappointed.
“Obviously, almost every decision was against us today, as it was in Doha two weeks ago. There were two incidents yesterday … but to say the least, it’s volatile,” said Christian Horner. Mentioned Lewis Hamilton’s third free run, with no blame for ignoring the Yellow Flag and obstructing his path to Nikita Mazepin.
