THE FIA in a controversial decision he decided to put an end to this iconic image, proceeding with a change in the regulations. So, her track Jeddah he was the… last witness to something we will no longer see this Sunday at Albert Park and in each Grand Prix which follows.

The amended regulation will state that engineers will be able to stand on the railings, but will not be able to climb them. Their feet should actually be on the ground!

“Team personnel are only authorized in the pitlane immediately before being asked to work on a car and must leave as soon as the work is completed. Personnel are prohibited from climbing the pitwall fences at any time. Any action by a team that violates this prohibition will be reported to the committee.”the regulation now emphasizes.

THE FIA came to this decision, since the festive images in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia they were particularly worrying, as members of Red Bull and Aston Martin with dozens of engineers climbed to the top of the fence in the Grand Prix finale.
