F1 needs simple track limits rule to avoid confusion – Christian Horner

Christian Horner believes the ever-changing rules on track limits is confusing fans and therefore turning them off the sport, and has demanded a "simple" rule be enforced consistently across the entire season.

Recently the FIA has taken a stricter approach to track limits by installing sensors at particular corners. However it's strict approach hasn't been applied to every corner, with a more lenient approach taken if the stewards deem a driver hasn't gained an advantage.

Red Bull's Horner has described the current stance "confusing" and has called for an amended rule which either enforces track limiys consistently across every corner and circuit, or drop the rule altogether.

"I think the problem is that you cannot take it corner by corner," Horner is quoted as saying by Motorsport. "My frustration is: come up with something simple.

"There is a white line that goes all the way around the circuit – and one very easy way of doing it is if you have all four wheels over that line, you are out. In other sports it seems to work, be it with a ball or a foot – whatever it may be.

"There is a reluctance to have done that, which is fair enough, but if there is a reluctance to do that then you have to allow the drivers to use what is there. You cannot have one rule for Turn 1 and another rule for Turn 17 – otherwise that is too confusing for us within a paddock, let alone for the fans.

"That for me isn't clear and we need to move away from it. Either come up with something simple or let them do what they like."
