Lewis Hamilton tried to overtake
Max Verstappen on lap 48 of the
Brazilian Grand Prix, but the Dutchman went off track. As the race direction did not decide to intervene,
Peter Windsor thinks it is important that the
FIA make a clear statement.
It remains difficult for the stewards in
Formula 1 to judge when a driver deserves a penalty. Although the rules are clear in motorsport, they always take snapshots and have to decide quickly. This is at the expense of the quality of the decisions, says Windsor on his
YouTube channel.
"What we need now is a proper statement from Michael Massi saying we've got it wrong until now," he states. "There's no way in the world the guy on the inside should be penalizes if somebody on the outside trying to pass you runs out of road because you're using all the road."
Race control decision
Windsor sees that at other times race control do intervene. "It isn't fine if there's going to be more inconsistency. In other words if we have a repeat of what we saw in Austria. If that happens again then I will go ballistic."
