In training and qualifications VN Emilija Romanje the boring topic came to the fore again: Track restriction or Track-Limits. And this is a topic on almost all racetracks during paved excursion zones. This problem was especially astonishing GP of Portugalwhen they deleted what in just one day 123 lap times. At the only training in Imoli it was similar - together 60 deleted times individual racers.
Just like v Portimão, the leadership of the race is also in Imoli reacted before the start of qualifications. Due to the excitement of the racers, they are in bend 15 instead of a white line, define a curb for the constraint. “Now the ride in this turn is much smoother and better, and in general, the racers were constantly getting off track,”He explained the change Lando Norris. Nevertheless, the commissioners in the qualifications in this section had to make some racers erase their times. Judging by the racers, they are a problem excursion zones, which allow the racer to leave the track without wasting time.
Daniil Kvyat he found very harsh words for these excursion zones: “We don’t need these discussions of white lines, we need old school sandy excursion zones. If you get off track, you’re punished and so you wouldn’t have to worry about all this shit around the white line. It makes me so angry. It kills racing and kills such great tracks,”To me Rus in view of Imola. Also Norris Advocates for sand excursion zones: "Turn 9 is probably the best example if you can easily drive off the track. That needs to change. At best, the turns should be such as the last one before the finish. Whoever drives off the track there means 'Game Over'."
Pierre Gasly he also believes they are for many turns sandy excursion zones the best solution. But he can also live on asphalt: “As long as it is clear where the limit is and that it is the same for everyone."It simply came to our notice then Carlos Sainzwho, looking back at the qualifications, says: "I think the track restriction rule worked well. Especially when the FIA replaced the white line with a curb in turn 15.“But many paths give preference deep curb, which are useful for motorcycle racing, and of course paved excursion zones. "We need to find a solution that satisfies both parties,”To me Norris. What the compromise would look like, however, the young McLaren racer could not say. Also Daniil Kvyat did not wish to present a proposal: "I don’t have a lot of creativity when it comes to these matters. I have another job as I am not a track designer but a racer."
