Max Verstappen has drawn up an unusual plan to fully understand the confusion generated by F1’s rules.
Max Verstappen joked about needing the F1 rulebook “in the car” to understand overtaking guidelines following his clash with Lando Norris. The incident at Turn 12 of the United States Grand Prix put F1’s rules for wheel-to-wheel combat under scrutiny. According to the Racing Standards Guidelines, a driver with the front axle ahead at the corner apex is entitled to that racing line. Norris tried to pass Verstappen on the outside under braking, leading to a penalty for overtaking off-track. Verstappen suggested the rulebook has grown over the years and that while F1 may seem over-regulated, there are concerns about going too lax and wanting more rules when incidents occur. Despite the complexities, Verstappen emphasized the need for consistency in enforcing rules to maintain fairness in racing.
