Five hours after the raཧce finished, 🅺the FIA handed out 12 further penalties for track limits.

This was because during the race there were over 1200 p🌠otential infringements and the FIA race control simply didn’t have enoug💧h time to check and validate them.

Speaking at the launch of McLaren’s new chr🌊ome livery for this ♉weekend’s British Grand Prix, Brown was clear that F1 can’t afford to have a similar debacle again.

“We can't 𝔉have it again. We can't have a race and five hours later you have that degree of change and penalties,” he told🔴 Reuters.

“It definitely wasn't ideal what♉ happened yesterday, that's stating the obvious [but] it has no long-term impact because I don't think it will ever ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhappen again.”

Brown believes the issue of track limits is only specific to Austria’s 🌱Red Bull Ring.

“I've never seen anything 🅷like that before so I don't think this is something that is an ongoing issue at other race circuits,” Brown added.

“I th💞ink it was specific to that one, so I think we need to look at how do you fix that?”
