Russell: Open-minded approach needed to evolve F1 rules

Since Niels Wittich and Eduardo Freitas took over from Michael Masi at the start of this year there have been a string of controversies over decisions, leading to some tension in Friday drivers’ briefings.called them “stubborn,” indicating that they are reluctant to change their views.

"I think the feeling is they're doing a good job of sticking to the letter of the law,” he said when asked by Autosport about the race directors. “But sometimes, as we've said, things need to evolve. “And we need to work together to do that. Just because there's a regulation, that doesn't mean that it's the right regulation.

“And racing is a very dynamic sport, you just need to – I don't want to say look at case by case – but it's not quite as simple as saying this is what it says in the regulations, and this is what we're going to stick to when it's a battle, as such."Expanding on the recurring issue of track limits, Russell suggested that at some tracks it’s hard for drivers to judge how far they can go.

**And we need to work together to do that. Just because there's a regulation, that doesn't mean that it's the right regulation.** Golly, so the playstation generation want to rewrite the racing rules. What a time to be alive

**Since Niels Wittich and Eduardo Freitas took over from Michael Masi at the start of this year there have been a string of controversies over decisions** Hahaha yes, F1 wouldn't be F1 without controversies and politics, it's part of the package

Actually no, the FIA asking the teams to write the racing rules is the reason why the sport enters a black hole e.g. teams agreeing not to end races behind the safety car therefore it's the FIA's job to write the racing etiquette and for the participants to follow them

Never won a GP but knows all there is to know about F1 racing.
