The public release of the revised racing guidelines of F1 was very much dominated by Padock Cheater during Media Day in Austrian Grand Prix.
Here is reported that some drivers tried the FIA’s move after a hurry of controversial punishment and racing incidents compared to the previous year to react to becoming more transparent.
F1’s governing body insisted Guidelines There are not regulators, but rather to help clarify that the wheel-to-wheel is the driver’s priority during the fight …
Have guidelines made racing less natural?
Lewis Hamilton
Seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton Said that he is not following the racing guidelines and is competing with a wheel-to-wheel with “natural experience” instead.
The Ferrari driver said, “I am not going to the guidelines, if I am honest. I am just driving what I feel naturally,” said Ferrari driver.
“But of course, FIA, stewers have a difficult task. Every racing maneuver looks different. I think some types of limitations are good. I really have no problem … they have not impressed me yet.
“I don’t know what other people think about them. It is interesting every year. Different people come and different people come with different things.
“Year after year. Some of them are good, some of them are not so good. I don’t want to underestimate it yet.”
Alpine’s Pierre Galli shares a similar idea: “For me personally, I don’t think so. I think you go hard racing and you know where the border is. There is mutual honor with other drivers and it is the limit of environment, and you try to push it to a full extent. Sometimes you go over it.
“Now, the way we punish is another question-whether some punishments are very strong, not strong enough, etc. This is another conversation. But the way we racing wheel-to-wheel, it seems natural.”
Max VerustapaneWhich is a point away from a race ban and should navigate cleanly in the red bull ring at the end of this week, was not eager to give his opinion on the matter.
“I’m not going to comment on it, I can’t risk getting a penalty point!” The four -time world champion of Red Bull took a pinch.
Guidelines should not be taken as ‘black and white’
Vestenapane and Piastry have had many fights this year
McLaren’s World Championship leader Oscar piastry Emphasized the importance that guidelines are not considered as a gospel.
“Obviously, there are still degrees of factors that cannot actually be written,” Piastry said.
“Every situation is different, but I think it at least gives us some clarity as drivers and what is not allowed. Perhaps there are some twice because they came out- I don’t remember that they had actually come out, but perhaps in the last 18 months either.
“It is just important that people do not consider them as black and white – this is what needs to be done, it is what is not going to happen – because even if you wrote lines of 10 pages and a driver is going to find a gray area from the situation that you finish.
“So I think it is important to recognize it and does not have to jump on such a conclusion,” it says in this sentence, so it should happen. “It is still in the hands of the stewers.”
Estaban Okon allegedly faced an inquiry for driving wrongly to get out of the pit Carlos SainzWilliams during the Canadian Grand Prix, but Steward eventually did not warrant another acton after the breed.
The HAS driver feels that the amount of rules in the F1 produces complications.
“There are many rules, this is sure. I think the racing aspect is quite straightforward for us and very clear, but it is all small side things – such as what happened, for example, on the drain of the pit lane with that double yellow flag with me and Carlos,” he explained.
“It was not straightforward and is a surprise for all of us. It also caught Carlos with surprise. Therefore, yes, it is already at the top of the complex situation. All these are all small things that can give rise to hard scenarios and go to steward and long decisions and for all this.
“Finally, I think the FIA took all the correct decisions. They knew that these are side things and small things that were not leading for any result. It was quite straightforward before going to the FIA room, but it is always a stressful moment – especially when you get a result, which means something. The next three hours later the race was quite long for me and the team.”
Time for permanent stewers?
George Russell
Mercedes driver George Russell, a director of the Grand Prix Drivers Association (GPDA), once again suggested that F1 should introduce the permanent panel, permanent payment of Steward.
“Now I think it’s public, and more opinions will be thrown away. My personal approach is, and as we have said some time in the past, Steward is still volunteer,” Russell said.
“We have 20 different steovers during a season, all of which have received a large amount of racing knowledge, but all have very different interpretations of an event, similarly there are very different interpretations of the events of the drivers.
“So I still believe that the best courses will be fully paid professional stewers, a consistent panel, and potentially those driver guidelines will be slightly reduced because they eventually have to assist steward in decision making guidelines.
“And if you have a steward, which is doing only one of every four races, they need that kind of guidance. While you have found three or four persons in a row, we will know their vision, they will know our view, and you can do each incident a little more justice how it is what the law of law is written.”
‘Creating a contact game’
Williams driver Alex Albon feel that the racing bulls in Spain have a place to improve even after a recent conflict with Liam Lawson at the end of the penalty.
“I don’t like how we are running at the moment,” Elbon told the media including Crashet. “Barcelona Turn 1 was a good example of this.
“If the other car squeezes you and releases the break pedal and does not give you any place to go, it is true that this is their corner. But of course, at that point you have done so late in the corner, only one thing you can do is out of the track and take off.
“I had only one issue in Canada. If I turn on the car that is releasing a brake pedal inside, and he contacts me, he gets punishment. So, if I turn inside, even if I know that it is not possible and I know that he is going to hit me, I have benefited. So, you are making a contact game.
“I think I’m doing this, getting out of the way for another car and escape from the accident, but then really got punished to do so.”
