Romain Grosjean has called on the FIA to relax Formula One's track limits rules.
Track limits have been a hot topic in recent races with the FIA adopting a "zero tolerance" policy and electronic monitoring censors in recent races.
But Grosjean, who drives for Haas F1 Team who also run a hugely successful NASCAR operation, said that giving drivers more freedom would be better for everyone.
"I like the liberty, the freedom of going wide," The Frenchman told Fox Sports. "I think it looks great running on the kerbs. I watched the NASCAR race at Sonoma and their track limits are… well, I don't know why they paint white lines!"
"And it looked great. I mean everyone is doing the same. In the end, sometimes it’s more risky because you go on a kerb and on a surface that is less smooth. I’m quite in favour of letting cars run wide."
He did however say there were places at Spa, the venue of the next round on the calendar, where track limits policing was necessary.
"The Raidillon is a bit of a different case," he said. "You could go straight and then it's not a corner any more. In Eau Rouge, it makes sense to police [track limits], electronically or not, otherwise it's just not fun."
