I love, every time you open your mouth jackie stewart says something that deserves to be commented. It already was when he spoke of Schumacher, and now it is time, quite rightly in my opinion, already so advance, hermann tilke and his increasingly predictable F1 circuits. Things clear and thick chocolate: the current circuits not penalize drivers that are long in the curves, and blame for less overtaking is not in the car, is on the slopes.
The Turkey circuit is an example that comes to the memory of circuit not penalizing go long. Either the Shanghai circuit. Above all Turkey, we have no more to do the famous eight curve to give reason to the venerable Stewart. On the other side are circuits like Monaco, that does not forgive one, or others as Monza, Spa-Francorchamps (except perhaps the curve 1) or already discarded circuits of the world of F1 as Zandvoort.

my impression is that the most important reason for lack of overtaking in the modern competition is due to the more modern tracks, almost all of which have been designed by the same man, the German architect Hermann Tilke.We all know that Jackie Stewart is a standard-bearer for the security in the circuits, so the solution proposed to Tilke is based in penalizing errors, but without incurring in accidents. Interesting to see what you think.
New circuits in itself same must have its share of blame. Being simple, they are practically copies of other and tend to not penalize errors
How about Tilke simply amend the curves along its circuits so that if a pilot is long, be penalized? What if the surface of the loopholes to be changed so that the traction of the cars is reduced, and the pilot who was long lost meters with the car in front, or would enable those who come back exceeded him?What is clear, reading to Stewart, is that there are more factors involved in the deficit of overtaking. If he exhibits, will they buy. Tilke circuit resemble each other, that's obvious, at least in certain curves or sectors. Facilities of the modern circuits are enviable against outdated paddocks and "buzzards" some historical circuit. But yes, I agree that there should be more areas of escape with penalty. The best example, as ring finger, is the famous corner of the "S'anganchao" of the Chinese circuit.
