Sky Sports F1 Show<\/a>, he said: \u201cIt\u2019s very simple and far-reaching. The driver must drive the car alone and unaided. The driver shouldn\u2019t have any surprises by a self-learning car.<\/p>\n\u201cThey\u2019ve got to get rid of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure it\u2019s not the work of the moment, but the power delivery must be proportional to what the driver is doing with the throttle. That\u2019s a fundamental. It has to be linear, as I said.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brundle then explained how the issue extends beyond the drivers to everyone involved in the sport.<\/p>\n
However, he was also quick to stress there is no simple resolution to the problem due to the quality of the electrical power.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a big issue for the FIA because its driver safety is sacrosanct,\u201d he added. \u201cI think they\u2019re fourth in line in terms of priorities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe top priority is the fans because they\u2019re paying to be there. They haven\u2019t bought into any element of risk, and they have to be protected.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext up are the marshals, the corner workers, because they\u2019re not being paid to be there, but they assume an element of risk because they\u2019re trackside.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cNext up, for me, are the pitstop crew in terms of priorities. And finally, the drivers. The cars are pretty safe. Everybody\u2019s health and safety is sacrosanct, but the FIA will now have to make a change for Miami because the drivers have voiced this. It\u2019s very much out there.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would be pretty certain they\u2019ve put that in writing through the Grand Prix Drivers\u2019 Association as well. So, if a car flies into the crowd now and they haven\u2019t done something, shown some due diligence on this, then the FIA will be in for the high jump.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, they will now have to do something and listen to the drivers. But we\u2019re hamstrung. We\u2019ve got a motor that turns out three times its electrical power compared to last year, and the battery depletes in any given decent straight.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re between a rock and a hard place really on this because the hardware is just not up to it. And we\u2019ve talked about this for three years now. We knew it was going to be like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is fundamentally flawed, but I think they should be able to smooth some of these elements out.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grands Prix were due to take place in April but were cancelled due to security concerns regarding the regional conflict.<\/p>\n
It means the drivers have a five-week break before Miami, and then another three weeks until the Canadian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
