This topic became a discussion after it was insinuated that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez crashed on his own accord in qualifying for the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix to ensure he out-qualified 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

Nico Rosberg famously went down the escape road in qualifying in Monaco 2014, costing teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton a shot at pole🥃, leaving the Brit🌜ish driver fuming afterwards.

Even more recently, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell benefittওed from his spin in qualifying at the Sao Paulo GP.

Brown thinks any driver who causes a yellow or red flag in qualifying and thus impedes hisꦅ rival(s) should have their current lap time 🦩deleted.

"I think it should be red flags or yellow flags, effectively impe𒁏ding a driver from completing thꦛeir lap,” Brown explained

"They do that in other forms of motorsports: you just lose your fastest lap from ൲that session. All the drivers tend to do one lap runs [anyway] so thಞat would penalise the driver if it was intentional or unintentional. 

"Because you've messed up someone else's lap, I think that's an easy solution and it𝔉 can be implemented right away."

Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi discuss♏ed the idea of having an “extra time” rul💧e.

"What 🅰I could say even personally is that they penalise themselves anyways," Rossi said.

"So, I would imagine that you could perhaps extend the session by an extr🌄a lap or two, to allow for the others to finish their hot lap for instance, and the driver himself would not continue without any penalty. 

"We need to have an extensive review, [but] we shouldn't be too qui🔯ck at condemning a driver, or a team."
