FIA consider major F1 rule change after Red Bull action
The FIA is considering changes to their F1 protest rules after Red Bull’s controversial actions this season. Christian Horner’s team has seen a significant drop in performance, now in fourth place in the constructors’ standings. McLaren leads the team championship with a substantial 417 points. Fans are focusing on battles lower down the order, particularly between Mercedes and Red Bull. Following Red Bull’s unsuccessful protest in Canada, calls for stricter protest rules are mounting, potentially including higher fines for filing protests. Mercedes’ Toto Wolff suggests a raise in the protest deposit to deter frivolous protests in the future. The FIA could be considering introducing these changes to ensure fair competition in F1.
