The consistency of penalties for F1 driving offences has been a bone of contention for years, and has reached boiling point at times this season. Here's the latest on what the drivers want changed and how the FIA is working to ensure consistency. ⬇️
Just as Michael Masi sometimes took a different line to his immediate predecessor Charlie Whiting, so new FIA race directors Niels Wittich and Eduardo Freitas have followed had their own interpretation of the regulations, one that hasn’t always gelled with that previously understood by drivers and teams.
The aforementioned frustration has generally been kept behind closed doors, but in Austria Max Verstappen made his views clear. Some unintended humour was brought to the proceedings when attention turned to the last lap incident in Montreal, when Fernando Alonso was penalised for moving more than once in front of Valtteri Bottas. Alonso had cited the sanction as unfair in subsequent briefings, and in France it was shown for all his colleagues from the cameras of both cars, and an overhead viewpoint.
It’s also worth noting that Wittich and Freitas have been kept well away from journalists by the FIA, a direct response to Abu Dhabi and an attempt to avoid giving them the profile that Masi enjoyed.Motorsport Images "Ultimately, that's what we all want. And we all want that consistency, but we need to understand how the stewards’ thought process is into the incidents, and they need to understand how we feel as well. I think it was constructive, and we probably need to have more of it."
"It's kind of like a football tackle, you can't just give a ‘this is how you have to tackle, this is not how you tackle.’ Everyone is always slightly different. And you've got to give that racing sense." "So we could have a series of videos to review which could be interesting. At least there is an approach from the FIA that shows they are willing to improve things, making everything possible, and thinking outside of the box, because we never did that in the past. I’m quite pleased with that."
"At least, they were taken away,” Vettel said after Sunday’s Grand Prix. “It's just unnecessary risk. We've seen so many incidents in the past with those sausage kerbs, so I think they shouldn't ever come back." It’s intriguing to look at the 12 races we’ve had so far in 2022 – a grand total of 27 men and women have served as stewards across those events.
