It's official

Article 20.3 of the F1 sporting regulations:

"More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted. "

"Any driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his position off‐line, should leave at least one car width between his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner."

Looks another can of worms have been opened.

They really need to do away with this article. It's a load of rubbish. Not alone that but what is one car width exactly? If I leave exactly one car width then how can another car possibly fit there without hitting me?

Next thing you know they'll be putting lines on the track to identify the cars width. It has just gotten ridiculous now. Let the guys race for heaven's sake.
