Ferrari wants a rule change in the wake of Fernando Alonso’s drive-through penalty imposed during the recent British grand prix.<\/p>\n
The Italian team criticised the time it took for race director Charlie Whiting to answer a query about whether Alonso, who cut a corner, should hand back the position to Robert Kubica.<\/p>\n
Ferrari claims it took the FIA almost two minutes to respond, by which time giving the place back to Kubica would have been complicated.<\/p>\n
“We will discuss an amendment to the regulations: if the race directors are not involved within 3-4 corners afterwards, the manoeuvre is considered to be correct,” team boss Stefano Domenicali said in an interview with La Stampa.<\/p>\n
Following Ferrari’s furious criticism of the safety car rules after the preceding Valencia race, the regulations were tweaked at Silverstone.<\/p>\n
When mischievously asked whether the rules need changing after every race, Domenicali smiled: “It’s a very complex sport.”<\/p>\n
