“We need to look at it” - Toto Wolff hints need for rule changes after “boring” F1 Azerbaijan GP

There were just 13 recorded overtakes duri🌠ng Sunday’s 51-lap grand prix, five fewer th♕an in the sprint race.
With degradation better than expected on the hard tyre, there was very little action after the Safety Car as the fie𝓡ld spread out.

Even in the midfield, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris spent a significant portion of the race stuck behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg, who had🐎n’t stopped lik﷽e everyone else under the Safety Car.
Reflecting on the race in Baku, ♓Wolff conceded it wasn’t “great entertainment”.
“There was no overtaking today, even with a big pace difference,”🐽 Wolff said.
“It made it not great entertainment. I wouldn’t know today between Aston Martin and Ferrari and us who is quicker because you’re stuck where you’re stuck and th𓆏at’s pretty much it.
“But at the end it all comes down to racing. It needs the tough batt🦄les and I think the highlight you could see yesterday was George and Max being able to battle it out. And today there was none of that.
“Even if you were within 0.2 seconds it was nearly impossible to overt🌄ake unle💎ss the other driver makes a mistake. We need to look at it and how we can make it better, how we can avoid just a boring race.
“I’m not sure that 100m more DRS would ha🧜ve made a difference.”

Hamilton disagreed with his team boss,ꦬ questioning the FIA’s decision to shorten the DRS zone for this year.
“They shortened the DRS this year down the straight,” Hamilton added. “I don’t q🎉uite know why they did that, we’ve always had great racing with where the DRS was.
“But by the time you switch the DRS, it was꧂ too late.”
