The FIA has decided to release some of its stewarding guidelines to the public in an effort to increase transparency during Formula 1 race weekends.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has been at the forefront of this move and may run unopposed for another term due to Carlos Sainz Sr’s decision not to enter the upcoming election.
Ben Sulayem defended the decision to make the guidelines public, citing the need to showcase the meticulous approach of FIA stewards amid unwarranted criticism.
This initiative will extend to other FIA World Championships, providing fans with detailed insights into decision-making processes across different series.
The recent explanation of Max Verstappen’s Spanish GP penalty highlights how the guidelines are used to determine sanctions and avoid immediate race bans for drivers.
