Formula 1 drivers will risk points deductions and bans for ‘misconduct’ breaches under the new guidelines issued by the championship’s governing body, the FIA, to stewards
Formula 1 drivers face the risk of points deductions and bans for ‘misconduct’ breaches under new guidelines issued by the FIA. The guidelines are part of the FIA’s 2025 International Sporting Code, listed in Appendix B. Specific penalties are outlined for breaches of various entries in Article 12.2.1 of the ISC. For example, causing moral injury now carries a prescribed first offense penalty of €10,000, with multipliers for F1 base fines. Penalties also apply to incitement to violence or hatred and misconduct defined in Article 20 of the ISC. FIA stewards have discretion in enforcing penalties under the new guidelines, which has caused tension with F1 drivers as the 2024 season ended.
