Read our privacy policy Martin Brundle believes F1 needs to change its driver guidelines after Sunday’s clash between Lando Norris and Max Verstappen at the US Grand Prix. While Sky Sports F1 pundit Brundle believes Verstappen was “cunning” in his defence of third place on the track, he reinstates the need for clarity in the rules with McLaren aggrieved with the penalty post-race in Austin “As far as I’m concerned, the six-page Guidelines, which have been signed off by the FIA, the drivers’ association, and the teams, are a blueprint to dissuade overtaking, especially around the outside,” Brundle said, in his Sky Sports column. Lando Norris and Max Verstappen clashed in the latter stages of the US Grand Prix “It costs money to replace and return this for motorcycle racing where it simply doesn’t work, but in the grand scale of F1 things that’s not expensive. “The driving guidelines need a serious tweak, and much simplification.” McLaren driver Norris now trails Verstappen by 57 points heading into this weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix.
