David Coulthard offers a simple solution.
Former Formula 1 driver David Coulthard offers a simple solution to reduce the risk of accidents under the new regulations. The danger arises from the large speed difference between cars when one of them switches to energy recovery mode – in the Up to Speed podcast, David said that it should simply be prohibited to switch to this mode in dangerous areas…
David Coulthard: “There are certain sections that should be excluded from the places where energy recovery is allowed.
For example, the O'Rouge corner in Spa, one of the most iconic corners in the world. Climbing up the hill, you won't see that there is a car on the other side. Therefore, it should simply be prohibited to switch to energy recovery mode in this area.
Drivers need to understand where this mode can be activated so that the slowing down of the rival's car doesn't catch them off guard. This can be very dangerous.”
