Formula 1 wants teams to stop climbing the pit wall.
It is a familiar sight at the end of a Formula 1 race: crew members of the winning team climbing to the top of the pit-wall fence and leaning over toward the track to wave the winner home. It happened in both of this season's races. And, now, Formula 1 is threatening to enforce an existing rule that would ensure it never happens again., F1's race-directing team noted in pre-race safety notes for the Australian Grand Prix that a ban this is already in place.
teams are technically not supposed to cross into the pit lane unless they are actively moving to work on a car. While that has traditionally been ignored in the name of celebration, the pre-race notes explicitly state that"it is forbidden to climb on the pit wall debris fence at any time.
The new decision makes sense, but Australia is a strange place to begin enforcing it. As the story also states, Melbourne is the rare track that does not actually have a barbed wire debris fence between the pit lane and the track surface. It instead has clear glass, which cannot be climbed anyway.
