F1 governing body reminds drivers that purpose of car is safety of the drivers, marshals and officialsThe FIA, Formula One's governing body has issued a statement defending the Aston Martin F1 safety car after criticisms from drivers; the most extreme was from reigning world champion Max Verstappen who compared it to a 'turtle'.
Formula One alternates a Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series and an Aston Martin V8 Vantage as safety car between races. Both cars are driven by German Bernd Maylander. Race winner and Ferrari F1 driver Charles Leclerc also shared his observation:"I wanted to complain, but then I checked how much the safety car was sliding in the corner and I don't think there was anything more that he could give so I didn't want to put too much pressure."
Mercedes F1 driver George Russell says the Mercedes safety car is about 5 seconds faster than the Aston Martin."In light of recent comments regarding the pace of the FIA Formula 1 Safety Car, the FIA would like to reiterate the primary function of the FIA Formula 1 Safety Car is, of course, not outright speed but the safety of the drivers, marshals, and officials.
