FIA announce mandatory rule for F1 drivers at Dutch GP
The FIA has implemented a new mandatory rule for all F1 drivers participating in qualifying at the Dutch Grand Prix this weekend. The event marks the return of the championship to the Zandvoort Circuit after the summer break, with Lando Norris, just nine points behind championship leader, Oscar Piastri, aiming to continue his successful run from the Hungarian GP. Last year, Norris clinched pole position, won the race, and set the fastest lap at the same venue. The FIA now requires drivers to maintain a minimum speed during and after qualifying, with implications for going too slow. This change has sparked speculations on potential internal battles within McLaren and raised concerns about penalties. Amidst the excitement, the FIA has also raised the pit-lane speed limit to 80 km/h to influence race strategies.
