Formula 1 drivers have backed a one-off change to the safety car wet start regulations designed to avoid a first-lap traffic jam in Zandvoort’s tight pitlane.The regulations state that drivers have to use full wet tyres if the formation lap starts behind the safety car.
At the rolling start of the sprint race at Spa last month half the field rushed into the pits to change to intermediates as the safety car came in, with the rest following at the end of the first flying lap as teams tried to stagger changes across their two cars. On that occasion, it was a normal grid start so tyre choice was free, but the drying conditions led everyone barto change from intermediates to slicks at the end of the formation lap, making for a frantically busy pitlane.
In order to avoid mass pitstops, FIA race director Niels Wittich has given himself the option of allowing drivers to start the formation lap behind the safety car on intermediates"for the safe and orderly conduct of the event, and due to the exceptional layout of the pit lane at this event.
