New pitstop rules delayed until after F1 summer break
Jul.23 - The introduction of new pitstop rules in Formula 1 has been delayed.
It emerged in June that the FIA will introduce minimum human reaction times for key moments during stops, in a move rumoured to be pointed most directly at championship leaders Red Bull.
The rule was set to be enforced from next weekend's Hungarian GP, which is the last race before Formula 1's summer break throughout the month of August.
However, it now emerges that the rules have in fact been delayed until the Belgian GP - the first race after the break.
"Yes, we had constructive negotiations between the teams and the FIA," confirmed McLaren team boss Andreas Seidl.
"Due to the covid-19 situation, it is now not so easy to return to base to train with the team. So it is right that the new rules have been postponed so that all the teams have the summer break to prepare for the changes."

Probably delayed because after last Sunday Hamilton doesn't need as much help to win the title as he did.
More likely the delay is to calm down Horner & Marko
Tonton and Valt(under the directives of Tonton)will provide all the help that Loulou will need to be the GOAT, in case of more help, don`t worry the big brass of the ORGANIZATION will take care of the details.
