Our reporter at the F1 Austrian Grand Prix brings you the details you may have missed in his paddock notebook.
“The public release of F1’s revised racing guidelines sparked discussions among the drivers during media day at the Austrian Grand Prix.
Some drivers, like Lewis Hamilton and Pierre Gasly, prefer to race with a natural feel rather than strictly following the guidelines.
Hamilton mentioned that while guidelines are important, not all situations can be regulated and each racing maneuver is unique.
Max Verstappen declined to comment on the guidelines to avoid the risk of receiving a penalty point, given his proximity to a race ban.
Oscar Piastri emphasized that the guidelines should be viewed as a tool for clarity rather than strict rules, as every racing situation is different and may have grey areas.
Esteban Ocon was also part of the discussions, facing an investigation related to the guidelines during the Grand Prix weekend.”
