Daniil Kvyat has become the latest driver to question Formula One's rule changes.
Further radio rules and alterations to kerbs to stop track limits violations have been introduced this weekend, but Toro Rosso driver Kvyat has said that the changes are unnecessary.
"If we had normal kerbs then you wouldn't need the electronics. Let's see how it is but in my opinion it is the wrong direction," he said. "The limits of the track should be obvious because if you cross it, you lose time and your lap is ruined. You can't just tell drivers who attack at the limit 'Don't go there'."
Speaking of the latest change to the radio rules, the Russian said: "I have ceased to understand them but I think no one really does."
World Champions not happy
Kvyat's comments come after Sebastian Vettel was extremely vocal in his disdain for the latest rule changes.
On the radio rules, Vettel said: "It is complete bulls**t, I think all the radio issues we have is a joke."
"I think it is the FIA to blame [as they] build circuits to make it faster to run off track than on the track," he said in regard to the track limits changes, which will see violations monitored by electronic sensors.
McLaren's Fernando Alonso has also spoke out against the so-called 'over-regulation' of Formula One, saying " it's not possible" to have fun in the current cars.
"You are allowed to breathe and not much more," he joked.
