Formula 1 has started a working group to solve the track limits problem. The discussion about the track limits has been dominating F1 lately, and of course that shouldn't be the case.

Max Verstappen has struggled a lot with track limits this season. In Bahrain he had to give back the lead, in Portugal he lost his pole time and in the race in Portugal he also lost the fastest lap. Red Bull is also the team that has been raising the alarm the most, and that has helped.

According to Motorsport-total.com a working group will be started after long discussions between the team bosses and Stefano Domenicali. ''There were healthy discussions, and a working group has now been started. We need a solution, which is simple and understandable for the drivers, fans and teams. That shouldn't be so difficult,'' Christian Horner stated.

Race director, Michael Masi, doesn't think this will be so easy. ''Ideally we would have a hard track limit everywhere, but that's difficult with the circuits. You would prefer to have walls everywhere like at the upcoming races in Monaco and Baku, but of course we drive on different types of circuits, and we also have to consider safety,'' Masi concludes.
