With a higher pitlane speed limit, drivers would lose less time during a pitstop. This calculation could encourage teams to try a strategy with more stops during a race.

    I don’t think that a great idea. It’s a pit lane with people and car with high risk of incident ( missing wheel, snap from to much power or collision between car). Enhanced show by security compromise never been a good thing IMO.

      They do take safety pretty seriously in general, I would hope that they wouldn’t be suggesting this if they weren’t confident that all their other procedures would mitigate any increased risk.

      My thought exactly, and surely there are other changes they could look at before literally rolling back safety standards.

      You can have jeopardy and safety, in fact F1 should be a demonstration of exactly that.
