Formula 1 is considering changes to the protest system following Red Bull’s contested protest against George Russell at the Canadian Grand Prix. Red Bull protested twice, with the final result being delayed by five hours before FIA officials dismissed the case. Red Bull’s protests against Russell and Mercedes this season have caused frustration, leading to discussions about introducing more significant penalties for launching protests. Possible solutions being considered include larger deposits or a challenge system similar to tennis, with the matter set to be discussed further at the next F1 Commission meeting on July 22. The current system allows teams to exercise their right to protest, but changes may be needed as new regulations in 2026 could lead to more disputes between teams.
