The FIA has shaken up the Formula 1 world with their latest release of the stewards’ guidelines for penalties and driving standards. In a bold move towards transparency, the FIA has made public the criteria used for awarding penalty points in the high-stakes racing environment.

While these guidelines do not have regulatory power, they offer a rare peek behind the curtain, allowing fans and media to better comprehend the reasoning behind stewarding decisions. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem emphasized the complexity of the stewards’ role and the unjust criticism they often face, underscoring the importance of understanding the meticulous process they undertake.

With the Penalty Guidelines being a fundamental tool for almost a decade and the introduction of the Driving Standards Guidelines in 2022, the FIA is dedicated to involving all key stakeholders, including drivers, in shaping the future of racing regulations.

Mercedes driver George Russell, also the director of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, hailed the move towards greater transparency in the sport’s governance. The updated driving standards guidelines, unveiled at the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix, set clear boundaries for racing conduct, including rules on overtaking, track limits, and defensive maneuvers.

Formula 1 drivers are reminded that exceeding 12 penalty points on their Super Licence within a calendar year could lead to a race ban, adding an extra layer of drama and consequence to the already intense competition on the track.
