During his career in Formulas 1, which ended in 1996, and later as an expert on television, is Martin Brundle experienced almost everything Formula 1 has to offer in madness. The 62-year-old Briton looked suspiciously at the questioning of agents Mercedesa in Red Bull Racing with FIA ombudsmen.
Even before it was supposed to the conviction fell, he said: "The hearing is to decide whether the objection is admissible at all or whether there are new findings which justify a more in-depth investigation. In previous cases, ombudsmen often rejected such objections because they did not want to change things backwards. I think that if something needs to be researched, it needs to be done on the spot," So Brundle za Sky Sports F1. "If you retrospectively affect the outcome of a race, that is nonsense. Mercedes will make its rivals a little angry with this, but I am against imposing penalties retrospectively."
British draws an example from other sports. "For me, it’s like a football game on Sunday ended with a score of 2: 1, and then someone says on Thursday, ‘Oh, we’ve found a new angle of view of a referee’s video here, so 2: 1 is probably not a regular score, it has to be 1: 1 '. If Verstappn is now sentenced and falls for Bottas, then he could Red Bull argued, 'But Max only drove so fast in the last part of the race that he stayed ahead of Bottas.' If he had received a 5-second mark-up penalty on the spot, he could have corrected that at Interlagos. Mercedes, on the other hand, could advocate a penalty of a city surcharge at a race in Qatar. Anyway, both Max Verstappen and Red Bull they put themselves under pressure here."
