F1 | Christian Horner would like to review the DRS rule

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”.

How to return to a more credible F1? Let's try to imagine it

The failure to start the 2011 World Cup in Bahrain is definitely hurting. Lately, moreover, Bernie Ecclestone's outbursts have also been creating a certain embarrassment in the environment. The latest releases of the master father of F1 are astounding: tracks watered like flower gardens, cars that should go back to twenty from twenty-four because some are too slow (Come on?), and then others, too many proposals and suggestions that it would be better not to even hear .

The mobile rear wing: yet another madness from the FIA

With this piece we want to act as a spokesperson for a general discontent, which is affecting historic Formula 1 fans year after year, who for the umpteenth time feel like this sport is losing its original connotation. Vain hopes... Frankly, we can't stand it anymore. The rule on the rear mobile wing is the straw that will probably break the back of an already overflowing camel and for some already overflowed for some time.
