Gary Anderson：F1应做出的四项事故规则修改
前F1技术总监Gary Anderson针对F1处理事故的方式提出四项规则修改建议，包括VSC期间车手必须至少通过起终点线一次、排位赛红旗只从起终点线到事故现场出示、造成红旗的车手应被取消最快圈速，以及比赛红旗期间不允许更换轮胎配方。
F1中有一系列情况长期以来让我感到恼火，上周在新马德里赛道赛道举行的首场比赛中暴露出的问题就是其中之一。
是的，这比每次有车停在赛道上就使用安全车要好，但现实是，如果车手遵守黄旗或双黄旗，并且有一套简单一致的处罚措施，那么我们就不需要如此频繁地使用VSC。
然而，我们已经陷入了这种局面，而且它正在毁掉比赛。
诺里斯绝不应该在马德里赛道赛道输掉那场比赛。他完全掌控着局面，仅仅因为他在赛道上的位置，他就输给了安东内利。就连Antonelli也承认：“获胜很好，但感觉没那么好，因为我认为今天的Lando配得上胜利。”
Norris跑出了一圈排位赛，正如他所说，这可能是他F1生涯中最好的一圈。
他使用中性胎从杆位领跑，并拉开了不错的差距，然后在第14圈结束时，就在他经过维修区入口时，斯特罗尔停车，赛事总监叫出了VSC。他的对手们获得了便宜的进站机会，而VSC在Norris能够利用下一圈之前就被取消了。
一个甚至不需要修改规则的简单改变是：所有车手在VSC期间必须至少通过起终点线一次。
这意味着所有车手都有机会完成一次减少时间损失的进站，从而消除大奖赛比赛结果中的好运气或坏运气。
毕竟，我们在使用安全车时也有类似的做法，安全车在维修区入口处进入维修区，然而，车手们在起终点线之前不能超车。
是的，最终Norris可能因为其他情况而没有赢得比赛，但在他没有过错的情况下可能夺走他的胜利，基本上就是在影响最终结果。
所以我不得不问：这种情况什么时候可能被故意用来操纵比赛结果？这次不是，但如果是在赛季末积分接近的关键时刻，就可能受到质疑。
有些人会说这可能会减少比赛圈数，但我不同意。如果我们看看马德里赛道的这种情况，那意味着我们会在VSC下多待20秒，所以没什么大不了的。
另外还有一件事让我困扰：当排位赛出示红旗时，造成红旗的车手实际上并没有受到任何挫折，除了可能损坏赛车，但正在跑快圈的车手却可能因为不得不放弃单圈而损失一套轮胎。
为什么红旗不能从起终点线出示到事故现场？正在跑排位赛且已经过了事故点的车手可以完成他们的单圈。
此外，如果需要医疗车，它可以从维修区通道末端驶出，这样就在赛道的红旗区域内。
是的，在起终点线和事故现场之间的赛车仍然会损失一套轮胎，但俗话说：你不可能一直取悦所有人，但至少你有可能在某些时候取悦一些车手。
至于造成红旗的车手受到处罚，在F2中，任何造成红旗的车手都会失去所有排位赛圈速。我个人认为这有点过于严厉，但失去那节排位赛的最快圈速会是一个公平的惩罚。如果你在最后一节造成红旗，这可能决定你能否进入下一节排位赛，甚至你的实际发车位。
此外，在比赛红旗情况下，我认为车手不应该能够更换轮胎配方，所以基本上你无法满足比赛使用两种配方轮胎的要求。
是的，你可以更换轮胎以降低因碾过碎片而导致轮胎损坏或爆胎的风险，但这对每个人都是一样的。因此，这再次减少了红旗前已进站和未进站的车手对比赛结果的潜在影响。
英文原文
There’s a set of circumstances in Formula 1 that have irritated me for a long time, something the first race at the new Madring circuit last week exposed.
Yes, it’s better than using the safety car every time a car stops on the track, but the reality is if the yellow flag or double yellow flag were adhered to by the drivers and a simple set of consistent penalties were issued, then we wouldn’t need the VSC quite so often.
However, we have got ourselves into this situation, and it is ruining racing.
There is no way Lando Norris deserved to lose that race at the Madring. He was fully in control, and just because of his on-track position, he lost out to Kimi Antonelli. Even Antonelli admitted, “It’s good to win, but it doesn’t feel as good because I think Lando today deserved the win”.
Norris drove a qualifying lap that, as he says, was probably the best lap of his F1 career.
He led from pole on medium tyres and eeked out a decent gap and then at the end of lap 14, just as he passed the pit entry, the race director called for a VSC when Lance Stroll pulled off. His rivals got a cheap pitstop, while the VSC was recalled before Norris could take advantage on the next lap.
A simple change that doesn’t even require a regulation change would be that all drivers have to pass the start-finish line at least once during a VSC interlude.
This would mean that all drivers would have a chance to complete a reduced time-loss pitstop, so it would take away good or bad luck from a grand prix race result.
After all, we have something similar when the safety car is being used, the safety car pulls into the pits at the pit entry, however, drivers can’t overtake until the start-finish line.
Yes, in the end Norris may not have won the race because of other circumstances, but to potentially steal it away from him through no fault of his is basically influencing the end result.
So the question I have to ask is: when could this situation be intentionally used to manipulate a race result? It wasn’t this time, but it could be questioned if it was a close call for points near the end of a championship.
Some would say it potentially reduces racing laps, but I don’t agree. If we look at this situation at the Madring, it would have meant we would have stayed under the VSC for another 20 seconds, so it's no big deal.
Also another thing that bugs me is that when a red flag is thrown during qualifying, the driver who causes the red flag doesn’t really suffer any setback, other than perhaps a damaged car, but drivers on a quick lap potentially lose a set of tyres by having to abort their lap.
Why can’t the red flag be thrown from the start-finish line to the scene of the incident? Drivers on a qualifying lap that is past the scene of the incident could finish their lap.
Also, if the medical car was required, it could exit the pits at the end of the pitlane so well into the red flag area of the track.
Yes cars between the start-finish line and the scene of the incident would still lose a set of tyres, but it’s the old saying: you can’t please all of the people all of the time, but at least you could potentially please some of the drivers some of the time.
As far as the driver who causes a red flag getting a penalty, in F2 any driver who causes a red flag loses all their qualifying laps. Personally, I think that is a bit heavy-handed, but to lose your fastest lap in that qualifying session would be a fair punishment. It could make the difference between getting into the next qualifying session or even your actual grid position if you caused it in the final session.
Also, during a race red flag situation, I don’t think that drivers should be able to change tyre compounds, so basically you can’t comply with the two-compound race requirement.
Yes, you can change tyres to reduce the risk of tyre damage or punctures from running over debris, but that would be the same for everyone. So it again reduces the potential influence on the race result for those who have pitted prior to the red flag and those who hadn’t.
