Fia loosens up: cursing in Formula 1 race is treated milder!
The International Automobile Association FIA has announced significant changes in the regulations for Formula 1 drivers. These adjustments follow the continuing criticism of drivers and teams, especially with regard to punishments for inappropriate behavior. According to OE24 , the amount of the fines is significantly reduced, and punishments for curses are only possible in severe cases imposed.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said that the emotional aspects should be taken into account during the competitions. In addition, missteps at press conferences and public appearances remain punishable. A central goal of these new regulations is to prevent “moral damage” for the World Association. This attempts to encounter increasing resentment within the driver, since prominent drivers such as Max Verstappen have criticized the large number of regulations, as well as the non -transparency when using the fines.
changes in the penalty catalog
The adjustments were made as part of a revision of the International Sporting Code. The maximum possible sanctions were mitigated: fines were reduced from 10,000 euros to a maximum of 5,000 euros. According to Sky Sports , racing commissioners can now take into account in which context have been used. This could play a role in particular for initial offenses in which Stewards have the opportunity to suspend a punishment.
In addition, sanctions for delays on official dates are also recorded in the new penalty catalog. An example of the enforcement of this rule is Carlos Sainz, who recently received a fine because, despite health problems, he had not appeared in time for the national anthem in Suzuka. According to George Russell, the solutions should be an unprecedented development of the past year and a half.
Financial consequences for teams
in parallel to the changes in the regulations, the FIA caused a stir in other ways. Red Bull is now faced with a fine of $ 7 million, while Aston Martin was asked to pay at $ 450,000. These punishments are the result of procedural errors that both teams have committed, and they were announced before Mexico's Grand Prix. According to Auto Bild agreed with the FIA on an accepted break agree, which is equivalent to an admission of guilt.
The focus of the discussions is the Budget crossing of Red Bull, which amounted to 1.6% above the permissible limit of $ 148 million. The crossing came about through costs such as spare parts, catering and continued wages. For Red Bull, this not only has financial but also strategic consequences, since the team loses 10% of its development time in the wind tunnel over the next 12 months. This could have a negative impact on their position in the competition, especially after they won the world of constructors in 2022.| Details | |
