Niki Lauda tired of penalties

Niki Lauda expressed his exasperation at the incessant investigations and penalties imposed on drivers. Charlie whiting, the FIA ​​race director, had to speak out in the face of the multiple decisions and ideas considered for the discipline, one of which concerns the double yellow flag which caused many debates in the paddock of the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest.

“We have all asked Charlie (Whiting, the FIA ​​race director) to stop this type of sanction which penalizes a driver for a few centimeters off the track, commented the three-time world champion on Globo Esporte. We explained that seeing the pilots on the attack was a good thing for the F1."

“We need to stop these repeated investigations, as was the case with that stupid situation in Budapest (Hungary) where we didn't know if Nico (Rosberg) was really on pole six hours after qualifying. How to explain it to viewers? It's crazy. F1 needs more understandable rules so that what it looks like on TV matches reality., lamented the Austrian.
