Formula 1’s governing body is to revise its racing guidelines following a meeting with drivers at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
The move comes after drivers questioned the decision to penalise McLaren’s Lando Norris following a controversial incident with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in last Sunday’sThe FIA said in the drivers’ briefing in Mexico on Friday, sources in the meeting have told BBC Sport, that it would come up with revised wording to cover the specifics of the incident and present it to the drivers for approval later this season.
The FIA emphasised in the meeting the importance of being seen to be consistent in its decision-making, but drivers countered that there was no point being consistent if the wrong decisions were being made. "It is generally accepted that they should continue to evolve, not because of isolated incidents such as Austin, but driven by the desire to bring consistency to determinations and decisions from the stewards."
Hamilton added: "You shouldn't be able to come off the brakes and run more speed in and go off the track and still hold your place."The current rules dictate that a driver trying to overtake on the outside needs only be afforded room exiting the corner if the front axle of his car is ahead of that of the inside car at the apex.
