Shortcuts on F1 circuits?

Would Bernie Ecclestone have taken up the idea of ​​the joker trick used in rallycross to come up with his latest idea? In any case, as a great pragmatist, the “big moneyman” of F1 thinks of the spectacle above all and of the interest of the Formula 1 for viewers. In order to make the races more exciting, Bernie Ecclestone suggests that drivers can use a shortcut during Grands Prix, so as to no longer get stuck behind slower drivers.

« I tried to push the teams with a certain number of proposals, confides the representative of the F1 commercial rights holders to the Guardian. Imagine a shortcut that a driver could take five times during the race. This would prevent certain pilots from finding themselves stuck behind others. It would be good for TV. »

This would require a technical development of the circuits hosting Formula 1. For the teams, this possible measure would require tactical skill in racing to take shortcuts at the right time, in order to never find themselves stuck behind slower cars.
