The racing standards guidelines may have been officially released to the public, but to the drivers themselves, there remain grey areas.
Liam Lawson supports F1 competitor Alex Albon after the FIA released driving standards guidelines to the public. The two drivers were involved in a Turn 1 incident in the Spanish Grand Prix resulting in a front wing breakage and a time penalty for Lawson. Albon felt unfairly penalized despite following guidelines that prioritize aggressive outside moves. The guidelines outline reasons for penalizing drivers seen as aggressors in overtaking situations, even if pushed off track defensively. While Lawson’s defense was within regulations in Barcelona, Albon believes there are still unclear areas needing attention. Lawson acknowledges Albon’s frustration, having experienced similar incidents from both sides, empathizing with the challenges drivers face in such tight racing situations.
