New rules have been issued to Formula 1 drivers ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend in a bid to prevent them impeding in qualifying.

      The cars will now click onto a chain track, like for pulling a roller coaster, upon entering the pit lane. The engineers and mechanics will have to go with the car down the pit lane, changing tyres and making wing adjustments on the way LOL

    The revised rules issued for the Brazilian round add “drivers may create a gap between the pit exit lights and the SC2 line,” which at the Interlagos circuit runs from the end of the pit lane to the exit of turn three. “Any driver who wishes to do so must drive as far to the left as possible to allow other drivers to pass them on the right side of the pit exit road,” it adds.

    I feel like this is going to have unforeseen consequences.

    It’s still not clear enough. Just impose a minimum speed and make it clear that any stopped car in the pit lane is assumed to be a retirement.

    This gently gently onto the track bs needs to be banned. If the tyres are shit for a lap, so what, they’re shit for everyone.
