Formula 1 is set to discuss changes to the current protest system following Red Bull’s criticized protest against George Russell at the Canadian Grand Prix. Red Bull protested twice, alleging erratic driving and unsportsmanlike conduct, causing a delay in confirming the race winner. Red Bull’s protests against Russell and Mercedes have caused frustration, with Toto Wolff advocating for more significant deterrents for launching protests. The FIA is considering implementing changes, such as higher fines or a challenge system similar to tennis, to make teams think twice before contesting race results. The discussion on potential modifications to the protest system will continue at the next F1 Commission meeting on 22 July.
