Horner pushing for two stops

Christian Horner

Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner continues to hope for a compulsory two pit-stop rule this season after most cars elected to change tires only once in the Bahrain Grand Prix. The Englishman believes that the general show would be improved in the event of more pit lane activity in races.

With the majority of drivers having elected to stop just once at Sakhir in order to switch to Bridgestone's other type of tire compound – a must under technical regulations since 2007 – Horner is worried that races could become duller due to the current rules, which ban in-race refueling and therefore encourage a lesser amount of stops.

"What I fear is that we will end up with many 1-stop races," Christian explained to the official F1 website. "I was pushing very hard for two stops because, with how the cars are and how the fuel regulations are, we will see a lot of races like this." GPUpdate.net
