Otmar Szafnauer criticizes the FIA's decision.
Former Formula 1 team principal Otmar Szafnauer criticizes the FIA's decision to limit itself to a safety car after Max Verstappen's crash at Silverstone...
Otmar Szafnauer: "I contacted the FIA, spoke with Nicholas Tombazis, and I believe that what he told me was the reason for making such a decision.
The FIA was guided by the existing rules, although they could have easily stopped the race with red flags. When I mentioned this to Tombazis, he asked, 'Show red flags because of this crash?' I replied, 'No, not because of the crash, but for the fans.' This would not have violated any rules at the FIA.
If you want to create intrigue and follow the rules, which should always be done, unlike in 2021, you need to stop the race with red flags."
