RED Bull boss Christian Horner has urged Formula One to scrap complicated fuel-flow rules that saw Daniel Ricciardo stripped of second place in Melbourne, as the Australian hit similar trouble in practice in Malaysia. Horner said policing the newly introduced limit on fuel flow, or rate of fuel use, “confuses even the teams” and should be axed with teams simply given a cap of 100 kilograms per race.
He was speaking after Ricciardo’s fuel sensor again played up in practice for the Malaysian Grand Prix, meaning Red Bull may be faced with the same dilemma that caused them problems in Australia.
