Opinions are divided among F1 drivers regarding the current racing guidelines in the sport, with recent incidents at the United States Grand Prix sparking controversy. Various penalties were issued for infractions mainly at COTA’s Turn 12, some penalizing the outside driver for gaining an advantage by going off-track and others penalizing the inside driver for forcing off another racer. Lando Norris was displeased with a time penalty given for overtaking Max Verstappen and maintains it was unjust. The debate around driving standards and penalties has been ongoing since the race, with drivers and teams expressing disagreement with some decisions made by stewards. There is a call for clearer rules and a closer look at track configurations to address issues at hand. Max Verstappen believes there are already too many rules in place governing racing conduct but acknowledges the need for consistency and clarity.
