The topic of track limits has been a point of contention at the start of the 2021 F1 season, largely due to a number of high𝓀-profile infringements made by Red Bull𝔍’s Max Verstappen.

Verstappen was forced to give back the lead to ♈Hamilton at the season-opener in Bahrain after he passed the Mercedes driver beyond the white lines at Turn 4 before the Dutchman also lost🧸 pole position and the fastest lap bonus point in Portugal for track limits abuse.

The Dutchman called for a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“hard-line” rule on track limits ahead of last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix🦂 and the matter was discussed by the teams during a meeting in💝 Barcelona.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner - who has been left 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:frus𒈔trated by the “brutal” decisi෴ons that ༺have gone against his team this season - confirmed a w💧orking group is being formed to try and tackle the problem.

“Obviously it wasn't an issue at this track because of the layout,” Horner said after Sunday’s race.♑ “And I think that tells you something, doesn’t🌼 it?

“So why wasn’t it an issue here and itꦡ is🐈 at other venues? It won't be a problem next race and probably not the one after that.

“There's been some healthy d🎶iscussion, there's a working group being created,” he added.

“We just need to come up with some🔯thing that’s simple, clear, and understandable for drivers, fans, team, ꦉyou know, etc. It shouldn't be that difficult.”

Meanwhile, Ferrar💧i team princip꧋al Mattia Binotto called for a “simpler” solution to the issue.

“I think what we need to do is something simpler for fans about🌠 track limits,” he explained. “At the end of the race or during the race, it is never good for the show.

“I don't think taking full freedom, whatever ♓it is you take a꧃dvantage of whatever the case may be.

“So keep it simple, I think about what's effective or not. So I see my from my side, I see other simple solutions that would 💝be the best.”

However, McLaren’s Andreas Seidl warned there would be “millions of infringements" if F1 tried to police track 🐓limits at every corner using the white lines💙, adding he believes there is “no short-term solution available”.

F1 race director Michael Mas🧸i said “ideally we would love to have a hard limit everywhere” but warned that a ‘one size fits all' solution is difficult to achieve given the variety of circuits the championship visits acros😼s the season.

“The fa🍷cts are with the circuits that it’s been an ongoing evolution process,” he explain𒈔ed.

“There’s some places that are track limit issues one year, aren’t the next and v🔴ice-versa. So it’s an ongoing evolution that we’re working tꦺogether with each of the circuits. Obviously it requires significant investment from them from that perspective.

“In one sense it would be lovely to have walls everywhere, as we’ll see in a couple of weeks time in Monaco or in Baku. But obviously we’re racing at different types of circuit▨s all the time, when we look at everything from a safety perspective, we need to find the best balance of everything in each and every situation. And each c🗹orner’s different, each circuit’s different.”
