SubscribeFormula 1Las Vegas GPEver since the Italian Grand Prix last month, the FIA has been refining its approach to the inherent difficulties of slow cars in qualifying causing problems for cars on quick laps.In the past, the only demand placed on drivers was for them to maintain a minimum speed on their lap back to the pits after putting in a hot lap – as this prevented them from dawdling and causing trouble for rivals.However, from the Italian GP, the FIA started applying a maximum time to any lap in qualifying – which meant drivers could not take things too easy on their out-laps...…SubscribeFormula 1Las Vegas GPEver since the Italian Grand Prix last month, the FIA has been refining its approach to the inherent difficulties of slow cars in qualifying causing problems for cars on quick laps.In the past, the only demand placed on drivers was for them to maintain a minimum speed on their lap back to the pits after putting in a hot lap – as this prevented them from dawdling and causing trouble for rivals.However, from the Italian GP, the FIA started applying a maximum time to any lap in qualifying – which meant drivers could not take things too easy on their out-laps...WW…
