Ferrari want FIA talks, not Technical Directives Date published: June 27 2021 Ferrari sporting director Laurent Mekies wants the FIA to talk to teams before making changes, rather than new Technical Directives introduced “out of the blue”. With sub two-second pit-stops happening in modern Formula 1, safety concerns have been raised by the FIA because of the speed and level of automation involved in completing stops quickly. As a result, a re-introduction of a ‘human’ element in pit-stops must now be implemented when tyre changes occur. As such, a tolerance of 0.15sec from the wheels being observed to tight to the jack man being told to return the car to the ground will become mandatory.
