F1 | Christian Horner would like to review the DRS rule
"Situations like those between Max and Charles should be avoided, it seems like a cat and mouse game," said the Red Bull TP
One of the most exciting, but also most controversial moments of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was certainly the one that saw Verstappen and Leclerc as protagonists at the last corner in one of the final laps and which saw the fight between the two. Charles and Max nailed it in the middle of the straight, well before the original braking point to avoid granting their opponent the DRS. A perhaps spectacular and certainly unprecedented move (more or less, see last year between Verstappen and Hamilton, ed.), which however definitely goes against the spirit of racing. The mobile wing, in this case, becomes too much of a protagonist, and Chris Horner, team principal of Red Bull, believes that the specific regulation should be reviewed for a moment.
“The DRS is very powerful, it seems like a cat and mouse game – said Chris Horner on Formula 1 channels. In the coming years perhaps we should rethink how DRS is detected, because we need to avoid finding ourselves in similar situations. Max's race was very mature: he took care of the tires so that he would have some at the end of the Grand Prix. In the key moment with those braking moments before the detection point there was a bit of strategy on the part of both drivers, then Max understood how to manage the situation and managed to keep Charles at bay”.
