Mar.20 (GMM) McLaren will look into modifying its pitlane speed limiting system so that drivers do not lose time if they accidentally press the button during grands prix.
In his first race for the British team last Sunday, Heikki Kovalainen let pursuer Fernando Alonso past at Albert Park when he wrongly pressed the steering wheel button while tearing off a helmet visor rip-off.Ferrari test driver Marc Gene pointed out this week that the Italian team's speed limit system can only be activated when a driver is in a low gear."We'll certainly look at changing it for the future," McLaren's engineering director Paddy Lowe is quoted as saying by The Sun."It shouldn't be something you can pick up by accident," he added.
