Herbert Critiques Stewards for Ignoring Track-Cutting at F1 Mexico GP стартов.

Former Formula 1 driver Johnny Herbert has criticized the stewards for their failure to penalize drivers for cutting corners at the start of the Mexican Grand Prix.

«Stewards typically overlook this because the tires are cold and the drivers aren’t fully prepared to handle that speed, and if anything goes wrong, they won’t impose a penalty. I disagree with that. These individuals are the best drivers in the world, and as we saw in Mexico, did all those who cut corners gain an advantage on the opening lap? Probably yes, as they were able to avoid penalties.

However, the first lap is judged differently from the others, which is why there were no penalties issued. I don’t agree with that perspective. I think it’s unfair. Cold tires are part of racing. They just need to be a bit smarter about it,» Herbert is quoted by Racingnews365.
