Recent developments in Formula 1 have sparked notable discussions among drivers regarding the enforcement of racing rules. In light of recent incidents in Mexico, one driver commented on the disciplinary actions taken, expressing optimism that these penalties will set a precedent going into upcoming races like the one in Brazil. “It’s reassuring to see these incidents penalized,” he noted. “I believe today’s decisions—and those from last week—indicate that similar actions won’t be tolerated moving forward.”
Adding to this sentiment, George Russell, a leading voice among drivers, shared that the drivers and the FIA met in Mexico to address rule enforcement. According to Russell, there was an overwhelming agreement in the group, with “19 out of 20” drivers supporting an immediate update to the guidelines. However, Russell stopped short of naming the one driver who dissented.
This consensus marks a pivotal moment as the majority of drivers push for clarity and consistency in rule application, aiming to maintain fair play and safety on the track.
