Are F1 racing guidelines working? Our writers say

Hand decision Max Verustapane To leave the track and get a profit, cut a penalty of five-second and cut the lead against the lead against the lead Oscar piastry – Revealed the debate on racing rules in Formula 1.

But whatever fence you sit on was clear that this was the latest phenomenon to put a spotlight on the Racing guidelines of F1 and what the drivers can do and what cannot do when struggling for the situation on the track.

The incident was fined five-second with Vastapane and eventually lost the race to the piastry when he left the order after serving the sentence during his pitstop. Penalty split opinion, naturally, and about whether the Racing rules of F1 are functioning. Our writers present their views.

There will always be gray fields that are in front – Stuart Codling

Rules, Guidelines, whatever – we saw with the events of Max Vastapane vs. Lando Noris In the US GP in Austin, that gray sectors which are acceptable are present around the given areas. At that time it was said in the guidelines that whoever placed the axle in front of him in Apex, had the right to corner.

And as displayed there, it will always be relatively straight for a driver of the caliber of Max Vastapane, who will release the brake and stop the possibility of getting ahead around the outside, knowing that there is no hope of making the corner, but also knowing that he will be as one with Dhas line at the right place, while another man will be away from the track.

The guidelines were then revised, believed by most drivers that it was allowed to express an opinion in the form of border exploitation of the Verustapane of gray areas.

So we should welcome Steward’s stance in Saudi Arabia, which was firm against the lobbying of Red Bull. In such cases there will always be an element of the subject and finally, he decided that under circumstances, a fine of five-second was received instead of 10-second.

But it was clear that Vastapane was never going to make corner, while the piastry was – and on the correct line. When the Christian Horner arrived for his post-race press conference, showing a chef of the screen further, showing the Verustpen ahead, it was a transparent and cruel attempt to spinning the issue through the media and fanbase, which had already lost arguments with Steward.

At the point of those shots, Verustapane was well with no return point. Obviously some people will buy that the horner was trying to sell, and perhaps he can get what he wants-a “re-look” guidelines.

What to do – add more gray areas to exploit?

Penalty is very generous these days – Fabian Galalard

Given that guidelines are a means to judge events for stewers, they fulfill this purpose quite well. However, as we saw at the end of the previous season, the underlying principles are flexible – as, when many controversial conditions arise in quick succession, the amendments are quickly declared.

Although the example of Vastapane and Piestry speaks for yourself: you can apply all the guidelines of the world, but if a driver consciously decides that it is better to cut the corner to cut the corner to stay in front of another car instead of accepting or later backing the situation, then your guidelines will be useless.

Beyond the guidelines, when the circuit does not allow for better results, the punishment should be a real preventive. When Verustapane decides to take a corner at absurdly high speed outside Turn 1, it will completely know that he will never make it through the corner on the track, seeing that stewers impose only five-seconds instead of 10 because the first lap is almost laughter.

The current punishments in F1 for track events are abysmally generous compared to the previous decades. Penning malpractice more rigorously would be a good way to remind drivers and teams that the rules are the results of breaking and ignoring guidelines.

The guidelines are all well and good, but humans still take the final decision – Oleg CarPov

Whenever there is a controversial decision by the steovers – and it seems that it is always going to be controversial when the race is on the win line – it will essentially disagree. But amidst all the resentment about lack of continuity, perhaps it is also necessary to take care that the decision is really working when the decision is really working. Of course, Vastapane feels (or says) that he is doing injustice – but apart from him and his owners, there are probably not many in Padocks who will dispute Steward’s decision on Turn 1 fight.

After all, you can write the page and page of the guidelines, but the nature of the game is that there will never be two exactly the same episodes – and we will always need a human to make the final call. And this is not an easy task, because essentially one will erupt the media, or even bring a piece of paper with the ‘evidence’ printed on it and to prove them wrong. But this is only that.

Somebody had to call – and for me, at least, it seems that if Vastapane was excluded from the hook, there would be a lot of outrage. You can see her onboard frame by frame and stop the footage at the right time to see where her wheels are compared to the piastry. McLaren – But the steovers are not either new to the series and they probably know that Vastapane will never leave such an edge. It can be forgiven to feel that this is not the first time he just lifts the brake pedal and claims that he was on the top. And yes, those opportunities need to be a human being, just to say, “Yes, it is just mischievous.”

For me, five-second fine was the most suitable penalty-and it could be done what was going to do it: put Verustapain behind the piastry. And this is the place where the discussion should have ended. But there will always be those who disagree.

Are the racing guidelines out of touch? No, these are tracks that are wrong-Jack Boxol-Legue

I do not think racing is a real issue with guidelines; Most drivers have no problem in following, and a clear marker is placed below in view of the varostapen-piasty-side-side Jostle in Turn 1 in Jeddah. The “correct” for the corner in their apex positioning can be seen as a slightly nebulace for the corner, but it is clear that the steward will not tolerate bleeding to carry the brake to the corner. Now that in the early lap, someone has to decide whether the penalty of five-second is worth it or not.

But it brings me back to its general logic for this situation: does this situation happen with grass or gravel instead of run-off? The answer is, as usual, not.

We should give a little credit to those who came with the solution of blue-border white lines and the gravel of gravel out of the corner. They have not completely eliminated track boundaries in areas, but at least it adds immediate punishment in those cases.

But when you have found a first corner that is limited in a white line and an asphalt expansion, you just have nothing to stop and just stop taking a penalty. According to the FIA ​​guidelines, if you cross and get a profit, it is a penalty of 10-second; Vestepen met only five as it was the first lap. If you feel that you can take the lead and take advantage of five or 10-second, then why not take pant? This allows the system.

And if you do not think it is in the spirit of rules, then you are right. Vote for change. Vote grass/gravel.
