Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has blasted F1’s new pit exit rule as “absolutely terrible” and feels it “just creates even more trouble”. 

Ahead of this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix, an update in the FIA race director’s notes banned drivers from stopping in the fast lane of the pits during qualifying sessions as part of a fresh impeding clampdown.

When asked for his thoughts on the regulation change after his victory in Saturday’s sprint race, Verstappen replied: “Absolutely terrible, I think. “For me, this doesn’t work at all. It just creates even more trouble. Look at what was happening yesterday, people going on the grass including myself to try and pass cars. It’s just a mess.

“I got a reprimand this morning for two cars ahead of me coming out of the pitlane, one crossing the safety car line and one coming out of the pitlane at the same time.“I can’t overtake, otherwise I’m going to be racing on a qualifying lap, which is stupid. Therefore I have to back off, and then I’m below the minimum time and I get a reprimand for that. It’s just a silly thing.
