Ferrari has suggested that Formula 1 and the FIA should consider introducing a system that would result in the guilty driver’s team paying for repairs after Charles Leclerc’s race during the Hungarian Grand Prix due to a Contact was ruined.
Leclerc was wiped out by Lance Stroll on the first corner regardless of Valtteri Bottas’ mistake which left four cars, including the Mercedes, out of the race.
The Aston Martin driver was given a starting place penalty of five places for the next race, just like Bottas’ for beating Leclerc – back crashes, Binotto says there is a solution.
“I think it’s worth discussing with the other FIA and F1 team principals in the near future,” said Mattia Binotto in an interview with Autosport.com.
“Of course, if you are not guilty, such damage in the budget cap is now an even bigger consequence.
