Martin Brundle has expressed concern over what he perceives as a flaw in the power delivery system, urging the FIA to address the issue following Ollie Bearman’s recent crash at the Japanese Grand Prix. During the race at the Suzuka circuit, Bearman swerved to avoid Franco Colapinto, who was harvesting energy at the time, resulting in a high-speed crash into the barriers. Brundle defended Colapinto, citing the challenges posed by rapid closing speeds and sudden deceleration. He emphasized the need for modern power units to avoid self-learning aspects to prevent such incidents. Brundle also highlighted the importance of driver safety and the FIA’s role in prioritizing safety measures. He called for a revision of regulations to ensure that power delivery is proportional to driver input, stressing the need for linear control to enhance safety on the track. The drivers’ concerns about unpredictable car behavior, as voiced by Lando Norris, underscore the urgency of addressing these issues to prevent accidents and maintain the integrity of Formula 1 racing.
