F1 drivers headed into Thursday night’s annual FIA meeting in Qatar frustrated with how racing rules have been applied – but united solutions remain elusive.
Formula 1 drivers are frustrated with how racing rules have been applied, but they are struggling to find united solutions, especially after recent incidents involving Oscar Piastri.
Piastri’s Brazil penalty and the Las Vegas collision raised concerns about steward decisions regarding wheel-to-wheel battles.
While some, like Piastri, feel the guidelines need adjustments to prevent gaming of the rules, others, like Carlos Sainz, advocate for relying on experts with recent racing experience for fairer judgments.
On the other hand, George Russell highlights the challenges stewards face in making real-time decisions under pressure and emphasizes the need for correct guidelines to ensure accurate decisions.
Russell suggests appointing permanent stewards to maintain consistency throughout the race weekends.
