WOKING, England : Formula One will make sure the track limits chaos of Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix never happens again, McLaren boss Zak Brown said on Monday.
McLaren's Lando Norris was a major beneficiary, moving up from fifth to fourth, but Brown said the situation at Spielberg's Red Bull Ring should never have happened. "It definitely wasn’t ideal what happened yesterday, that’s stating the obvious it has no long-term impact because I don’t think it will ever happen again," added the American about a situation some said made the sport look amateurish.
"I’ve never seen anything like that before so I don’t think this is something that is an ongoing issue at other race circuits," said Brown.Brown cited previous examples where the sport had known there was a problem on Friday but done nothing to resolve it until too late, including the notorious 2005 U.S. Grand Prix tyre crisis.
