Finally, a Race Director who truly understands what drivers need to feel safe and compete in a fair environment! 🏁🙌
George Russell was full of praise for Rui Marques, saying:
"Sincerely, the impressions are positive. We went through a time where our feedback was heard, but very little would change. Now, for example, many drivers talked about track limits at Turn 4. We felt that on a street circuit, it was a bit unnecessary, and he made a change in no time. That’s what drivers want. We all want to be heard, and we want action immediately. So far, it’s been positive."
Carlos Sainz also shared his appreciation, starting with how challenging the role of Race Director is:
"From the very first weekend, he has been really good. Yesterday’s drivers' meeting was the best in a long time. We also asked for changes at the pit lane entry to make the line more visible because we couldn’t see it, which worried us. Today, we arrive on the track, and the entry line has been widened with a blue strip, and we all liked it. A nice change with a very good approach. The way we were listened to yesterday was very positive, and it makes me happy."
It’s refreshing to see such proactive and driver-focused leadership in F1. Marques is setting a fantastic example, and I hope this trend continues. Here's to a safer and more competitive future in the sport! 🚀👏
