Max Verstappen wins third consecutive Formula One world championship<\/h3>\n

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has suggested that some circuits could be axed from the F1 calendar unless alterations are made. Track limits infringements dominated proceedings in Austria and Qatar, with Charles Leclerc among the drivers to complain about punishments dished out by the stewards at Losail Circuit.<\/p>\n

Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll, Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon were all hit with multiple penalties for exceeding track limits in Qatar. A total of 51 infringements were pounced on by stewards – more than any other race this season apart from Austria.<\/p>\n

“We are speaking about centimetres at 280kph,” moaned Leclerc after the chequered flag. “In qualifying, when we are fresh, it\u2019s possible to respect them. But then it\u2019s just a nightmare at the end of the race.<\/p>\n

“So, maybe there are things that we could do because these cars now are so quick in the high-speed corners, so when you are doing quali laps after quali laps, the G-forces we are going through for 57 laps with this heat is crazy.”<\/p>\n

Ben Sulayem has taken sides with Leclerc, telling race organisers that changes could be made to the calendar if they resist demands to introduce measures with the aim of minimising infringements.<\/p>\n

“We had the same issue in Austria,” said the FIA chief. “Congratulations to the stewards because they spotted it. But is that the solution? No. The solution is to improve the track itself.<\/p>\n

“I know some are resistant to it, but to tell you the truth, if they don’t [agree to make changes], there is no race. It is as simple as this. We can’t afford this. One of the solutions is to make it slippery when they go off. We can think of the height [of the kerbs].<\/p>\n

“Or maybe there is a possibility of putting some gravel, but with gravel, we have to be very careful because you don’t want anyone to get stuck. We have to do it. And we have to listen to the drivers mainly, to the feedback from them. I will have to make it urgent because it has to be implemented for next year.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lance Stroll was one of the drivers hit hardest by track limits punishments in Qatar. The Aston Martin star finished outside the points due to two separate five-second penalties for infringements in brutal heat and humidity.<\/p>\n

The Canadian claimed that he was struggling to stay within the lines while ‘passing out’ at the wheel, with multiple drivers taken to the medical centre after what turned out to be a physically demanding race.<\/p>\n
