F1 teams to discuss rulebook revamp

The issue has been put on the agenda of Thursday's F1 Strategy Group meeting that is being held in Geneva, and comes after a controversial few weeks for grand prix racing.

At Silverstone, fans had to wait several hours for stewards to decide if Mercedes had breached F1's radio rules as it helped Nico Rosberg to the finish line, while at the Hungaroring there were issues relating to yellow flags and implementation of the 107 percent rule in qualifying.

With Mercedes having already issued a press release in the wake of the British Grand Prix radio issue to say it wanted to discuss the matter, other teams have also suggested that things need to change.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner said: "I think we need a common sense rule, but probably in F1 that doesn't exist.

"It is like the radio situation [in Hungary] with Jenson Button. I haven't seen what was said or reported, but we are over-regulating, and making it too complicated for the fans.

"I think you need to keep it simple that a casual viewer can pick up what is going on without over-regulating."

Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene added: "For sure, in my opinion, we need to clean up all the grey areas in the rules.

"If you have a grey area you never know where you are going, and you start to go left ad right."

He added: "My president raised that topic one year ago – and he said clearly we have too many complications. Clear, simple rules can help the sport."
