Red Bull Formula 1 boss Christian Horner says it “doesn’t make sense” to permanently mandate when drivers must pit after the enforced 2023 Qatar Grand Prix experiment.
Pirelli identified microscope failures in the tyre sidewall at the Losail Circuit last weekend, a problem triggered by drivers running protractedly over new kerbs with a 50mm raised edge. As a result, the tyre manufacturer and the FIA imposed a maximum stint length of 18 laps for the 57-lap grand prix, which compelled drivers to run a three-stop strategy. However, this was met with criticism that it was too prescriptive and led to a predictable race.
It is likely that his winning margin would have been greater had he not reduced his pace to cover a potential late safety car. Verstappen has also been notable for his tyre saving efforts aboard the RB19 this season, an aspect somewhat mitigated by the FIA restrictions. Horner continued: “From a safety point of view, I fully understand why they did it.
