Some drivers also indicated Red Bull driver Sergio Perez had taken liberties at Turn 6 where track limits couldn’t be properly policed. Charles Leclerc didn’t name Perez while being asked about the track limit fiasco in Austin, but called on the FIA to address the situation.
“We really need to look into that to find a solution because I don’t think it’s a good look in general to have these kinds of things,” he said when asked directly about Perez cutting the track. “There are a few other examples in the past where there wasn’t exactly the right camera to look on one particular corner and then you can go wide and nothing happens, but if you go one millimetre wider in the corner that is controlled, you get pinged and it can ruin your weekend.
“So on these kind of things, we’ll have to discuss with the FIA to try and understand what they can do in order to have a better system for it to be more regular because looking at one particular driver in Turn 6 in USA yeah…for me the evidence of the onboard was clearly enough to judge that [he was] off-track.”
