McLaren team principal Andrea Stella is calling for the FIA to review and update the racing guidelines in Formula 1 following the incidents involving Max Verstappen and Lando Norris during the United States Grand Prix. Stella believes the current driving standards guidelines leave room for uncertainty, especially in terms of defending maneuvers. He highlighted that the stewards considered Verstappen’s first move as an opening lap incident, but their interpretation differs from McLaren’s perspective. Despite Norris receiving a time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage, Stella feels that the stewards should have discussed the incident with the drivers involved, given the championship implications. He hopes that the FIA will analyze the incident and improve the stewardship of racing in the future, as McLaren shifts its focus to the upcoming race.
