Former F1 driver and Sky Sports pundit Martin Brundle has called for a change to be made to the FIA rules.
He has urged the governing body to “stick to” their regulations surrounding changing tyres after another outing of the Alternative Tyre Allocation (ATA) trial at the Italian GP.
“This was the second trial for the Alternative Tyre Allocation (ATA) where drivers would be limited to 11 sets of dry tyres comprising of three hard compounds, four medium and four soft,” he wrote in his Sky Sports column.
“This is two overall sets fewer than usual and also means just four sets of soft tyres instead of eight.
“It would be a dry weekend and so a true test, which went well enough. It does make the Friday practice running even more difficult to decipher, especially as those not expecting to get through Q1 or even Q2 to take a completely different approach to the practice sessions tyre-wise. And it will surely always promote fewer practice laps rather than more.
“I don’t mind which way we go as long as a decision is made and we stick to it. We simply have too many tyre combinations for the various qualifying and race formats and many of us in the paddock struggle to remember them without reading up each time, and I suspect the fans really can’t be bothered with it all either.”
