F1 Rule Change Unleashes Dramatic Twist: No More Double Overtaking under Safety Car

The FIA Cracks Down on Racing Regulations Post ‘Bearman Case’ in Melbourne

In a groundbreaking move, the FIA has implemented a crucial change in the Formula 1 sporting regulations right before the Miami Grand Prix weekend. The alteration at article 55.14 specifically targets the behavior of cars under Safety Car conditions, aiming to avoid a repeat of the controversial ‘Bearman Case’ that unfolded during the season opener in Melbourne.

The incident involving Ollie Bearman at the Australian GP sparked the need for a revision in the rules. Bearman, already a lap down from the race leaders, managed to un-lap himself when the Safety Car was deployed, a common practice in F1. However, the real drama unfolded when the Haas team decided to bring Bearman back into the pits, only to release him back on track still a lap down, strategically positioning him between the leading McLarens and Verstappen’s Red Bull.

This loophole in the regulations has now been addressed by the newly introduced rule, empowering the Race Director to close the pit lane exit as the pack of cars led by the Safety Car approaches, preventing any lapped driver in the pits from rejoining the race in the midst of the pack.

The updated regulation states, “As these cars proceed on the track to re-establish themselves at the back of the line of cars behind the Safety Car, and at the sole discretion of the race director, the pit lane exit may be closed when the Safety Car and the line of cars behind it are approaching and passing the pit lane exit.”

This modification aims to bring more clarity and fairness to race proceedings, ensuring that all competitors adhere to the same rules and limitations set by the FIA. The FIA’s swift action to amend the regulations showcases their commitment to upholding the integrity and competitiveness of Formula 1 racing, setting a precedent for stringent enforcement across all races.
