The Toro Rosso driver is far from impressed with the new kerb solutions at the Hungaroring that he says are a 'joke' as there is nothing to lose by running wide.

He thinks that F1 should be about punishing mistakes from drivers, which meant physical deterrents like grass or gravel traps to hurt those who run wide.

"The kerbs are a joke. The kerbs are absolute bullshit," he said about the new Hungaroring solutions.

"Just think of any bad word and you can imagine and go there.

"All we are missing is the next step – like in Top Gear where they use the track for a time trial.

"They just have a car park, and paint the circuit with the lines, and they drive there and that is the next step. It can be only that. We go there no problems. This kerb is not doing anything to the grip.

"Now we have to trust some new sensors. I don't understand it. We just need to put grass there.

"It is losing so much – it should be you go on the grass, you go on the gravel, that is it. But there – drivers push to the limit and the white lines are not enough."

Danger element

Kvyat thinks that old school tracks like Zandvoort – where mistakes are punished – are much better than having times decided by white line limits.

"If you go to Zandvoort and you put two wheels off the track, you lose a day because you are in the wall," he said.

"Now you lose your laptime if there is some sensor that said you went so far. We are doing a lot for safety, but some things that we had in the past that are old style, or old fashioned, should be kept. We cannot just paint the track with lines."

He added: "I don't know what they want to do about it – they let us drive as we want or they change the kerbs where we cannot go four wheels off the track any more. That should be the case.

"At the moment just driving around, I didn't know if I am off, or am I in? I didn't know exactly how it was happening.

"Maybe we should have a red light that flashes if we go off – or something I don't know. What there is now is not enough.
