Esteban Ocon expects more F1 drivers to pick up penalties for lining up incorrectly at the start this year despite the grid boxes being made wider than before.
Alpine's Esteban Ocon believes more drivers will receive penalties this Formula 1 season for lining up incorrectly at the start despite wider grid boxes.Ocon was hit with a five-second time penalty in the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix for lining up too far to the right of his grid box.similarly copped a penalty after he lined up to the left.
But despite the extra margin, Ocon believes the poor visibility from the current crop of F1 cars will still cause more drivers to be hit by penalties this year. "We've worked a lot with my team to try and lower me in the car, to have a lower position. We obviously were out of the rules, so we deserve the penalty."Ocon does concede the extra width should help, even if starting out of place laterally is"normally not an advantage" and therefore not as deserving of a penalty as starting too far forward.
"Before we were not penalised if we were a bit more to the left or to the right, because it's normally not an advantage. Now that rule has changed and obviously it's the same for everyone, so that's what we need to look out for and having it bigger should help."
