Za Max Verstappen rotating race commissioners FIA brings enough benefits. Because of this, young people Dutchman advocates that this system remain in the future. For an ambitious team racer Red Bull he is afraid of the situation that someone might permanent commissioner had on the fly. “It’s like in football if you have one referee who doesn’t like you and judges all the games you play.

"I think it’s similar in Formula 1. If you always have the same commissioners, then that won’t work. For this reason, I also believe that this system of rotation of Commissioners is not a bad thing. Much more of the problem lies in the rules, which also prescribe certain penalties for certain offenses. For this reason, it would not be a whip to add even more former racers to the commissioners, because, last but not least, he must also impose these penalties, which are prescribed in the rules,He added Dutchman.

Jolyon Palmer, a former racer Formula 1, who is currently performing the task of a television expert commentator, sees this differently. The Briton is in his column on To the BBC wrote: “I think Formula 1 needs major rule changes. It is a controversial idea, but I believe that sport needs permanent rulers or a permanent team of commissioners who have a similar idea in everything. At the same time, commissioners and former racers have different views on different scenes. This is why the verdicts are so different. Lewis Hamilton himself said racers need uniform judgments to be able to know how far they can go on the track. For this reason, the commissioners must also make it clear to the racers what they can still avoid and why they will receive a penalty,”He demands Palmer.

And in the end, another one needs to be mastered easy task"After all, the rules must also be followed. Clearly, this can trigger unpleasant reactions in the short term, but as soon as this unification of the verdict is enforced and racers know what they can and cannot do, Formula 1 will be fairer, safer and also better.”The 28-year-old is convinced British.
