Toto Wolff no longer wants to hear about track limits

The track limits are closely monitored this season by the FIA ​​commissioners who no longer hesitate to penalize drivers or delete times during practice. This subject divides the paddock of the F1 while the new circuits offer ever-increasing escape routes.

Toto wolff, the executive director of Mercedes Motorsport is one of those who would like to stop hearing about track limits. The Austrian reiterated his request to abandon the sanctions resulting from line crossings.

“Let them find the fastest trajectory, let them make their decisions. Let them run. It's a good thing for the show and for the audience, said Toto Wolff on Gulf News. If we start analyzing where the white lines are to see if a driver has exceeded the line by two centimeters with his tires and his lap is cancelled, no one will understand. »

“It's not like the long jump where two centimeters makes the jump invalid, specified the executive director of Mercedes Motorsport. These are six kilometer circuits and two centimeters won't change anything. Let the guys behind the wheel do their job. »

Toto Wolff remembers the German Grand Prix held on the weekend of July 31 where the rules regarding track limits were changed several times before the race.

“It was stupid. The rules have changed three times. The FIA ​​indicated before the Grand Prix that no exceeding of track limits would be tolerated, but officials revised the rules after 93 incidents of drivers going too wide were counted in the first practice session.he recalled.
