Alpine has called for a rethink to the F1 grid box rules that caught out Ocon in Bahrain and Alonso in Saudi Arabia.
In both cases, the drivers were deemed to have placed their cars too far to one side of their grid boxes at the start, and both subsequently received penalties.
While the ISC applies to F1, the same wording was subsequently added to the FIA Sporting Regulations for 2023, which is why the matter has come under more scrutiny this season. There is no specific regulation regarding the width, although it’s understood that race director Niels Wittich has told teams that he is introducing a standard width this season.
"No one is getting an advantage from being 10 centimetres over on one side or the other side. I don't quite really see why.
