David Croft pede que a FIA ajuste as regras da F1 de 2026 antes de Silverstone

O comentarista de Fórmula 1 da Sky Sports, David Croft, pediu à FIA que ajuste os regulamentos de 2026 antes do Grande Prêmio da Grã-Bretanha em Silverstone. Ele expressou preocupações de que as limitações das baterias possam arruinar curvas icônicas como Maggotts e Becketts. As regras estão sob revisão durante uma pausa em abril, após reclamações de equipes e pilotos.

David Croft expressou sua esperança por mudanças durante uma aparição no programa Sky Sports F1 Show. Ele destacou preocupações sobre o desempenho das baterias em sustentar corridas em ritmo máximo durante uma volta completa e toda a distância do Grande Prêmio. Croft quer especificamente ajustes a tempo para Silverstone, a fim de preservar as seções desafiadoras da pista. "Eu gostaria de acreditar que acertaremos antes de Silverstone, porque o que eu não quero ver é as grandes curvas Maggotts e Becketts sofrerem por causa desses novos regulamentos, onde elas deixam de ser curvas de verdade", disse Croft. As preocupações surgiram após incidentes como a batida em alta velocidade do piloto da Haas, Ollie Bearman, no Grande Prêmio do Japão. Bearman perdeu o controle após desviar da Alpine de Franco Colapinto, que estava recuperando energia naquele momento. Este exemplo destacou problemas na distribuição de energia sob as novas regras. Croft prevê que Silverstone evidenciará ainda mais esses problemas, especialmente na classificação. Ele questionou os fãs: se eles aceitariam tempos de volta dois segundos mais lentos para enfatizar os motores de combustão interna e permitir que os pilotos corram no limite.
