Formula One: Pirelli want red flag rules changed
F1 should change the rules to prevent drivers being allowed to put fresh tyres on their cars if a race is halted.
MONACO:
Formula one should change the rules to prevent drivers being allowed to put fresh tyres on their cars if a race is halted, Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul Hembery has suggested. Fans watching the Monaco Grand Prix were robbed of a thrilling finale when the race was red-flagged with six laps remaining and Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel hotly pursued by Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso and McLaren’s Jenson Button. When it resumed 21 minutes later, Vettel had new tyres and won comfortably.
