What's a 'hard stop time'?
A 'hard stop time' is a new rule for Formula 1 races that replaces the previous three-hour maximum limit. This change offers more flexibility for races that are disrupted by incidents like crashes or bad weather. It means races can still conclude within a set timeframe, even if there are long delays, ensuring events don't drag on indefinitely.
