Piastri demands 'better solution' to end Red Bull Ring chaos - Speedcafe.com
"We have to come up with a better solution" - Oscar Piastri is hoping changes will be made to the Red Bull Ring ahead of next year's race
I've got one for you. 15 second penalty and a colouring book so you can practice staying in the lines.
Piastri Demands - does he?
Oscar Piastri has called for “a better solution”
Silly Sensationalist Speedcafe.
Put a wall there instead of kerbs and white lines.
better solution = drive better?!
I really don’t get the drama tbh… I mean half of the grid managed to stay within the lines to not get a penalty - so it is possible.
From the F1 games I know the corner is fun to “just send it”… but rules are rules, at least it is consistent now across all tracks with the white line.
Wasn’t it similar last year as well?
I agree with you. Track is a track. With curves, limits and that stuff. We all know they are faster if they don't brake but... like in any other GP?
Yeah gravel trap is always the solution. It isn't dangerous like a wall if you spin in a high speed corner, and it magically reduces the amount of over the line incidents.. Edit: and in hindsight if gravel would ruin other categories driving there, one could add a special rule about extra harsh time penalties on that specific corner (corner 10) or something, lol.
And I think it's also not considered safe enough to retrofit gravel traps into places where there are safer solutions (like tarmac run-off)
There are dangers of cars digging in and flipping if I recall.

Looked horrible, but lucky he walked away.
