Senna has a 'rant' about 'chopping'

I thought some of the comments after this article were pretty interesting. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on "chopping".

From PlanetF1:



Hispania's Bruno Senna says the amount of "chopping" taking place this year is "ridiculous" and believes race director Charlie Whiting should do something about it.

Pit stops for new front wings have become common practice this year as too many drivers are cutting in front of each other.

The 26-year-old Senna believes it is time that race control to take action.

"It is happening a lot this year where drivers who are overtaking other drivers are just chopping in front too many times," he told Reuters.

"With the front wing sizes we have, everybody is losing front wings.

"The amount of front wings that are being damaged or lost, and punctures on the rear tyres, is ridiculous. Even if you are not competing for position, sometimes they just chop in front of you.

"I think it's maybe a good idea (to raise with Whiting in the drivers' briefing). We need to see what can be done.

"Rant over."
