#f1 rules

[loverofviolets]

hey, so I haven’t moved on about what happened during quali

Sure it was a single yellow flag at first so all George needed to do was lift, but that single yellow was turned to a double yellow seconds later. Drivers should know that if you see a crash, you have to slow down. Maybe how the rules are written it was technically “OK” but this is setting an extremely dangerous precedent.

Genuinely, during qualifying I believe that if someone crashes it should be red flagged. during quali drivers are pushing their cars to the absolute limit and going as fast as they possibly can, what if they were to lose control of their car and then hit a car that was already crashed going at full speed? Cause I believe George maybe wouldn’t have lifted so little if that wasn’t his last chance at a lap. if they said “red flag the session you’ll get one more chance at a lap once we come back” I don’t think he would’ve done that. And unfortunately, I believe it will take a flag/risking a penalty for some drivers to think about the dangerous possibilities their driving could cause.

but idk this morning was crazy, and I think out of principle his lap should not have counted but alas here we are.

new rules.

i feel like someone needs to address the sheer absurdity that the new rules set in place by Ben Sulayem are.

i find it very ridiculous to insert a whole rule that would allow the governing body of the FIA to deduct championship points for a driver for… swearing.

let’s say i can understand to a very minimal certain degree that they’re high-performance athletes and public figures and they’re held at a certain standards. let’s say i can understand that point of view (i really don’t, in reality).

but we have to remember that even though they’re athletes, they’re human.

they are under tremendous pressure because this is a very dangerous sport and even the smallest mistake can cost any driver dearly by causing a serious accident. also, let’s not forget about the adrenaline that is coursing through their bodies from the moment they get into the car, and especially when they get out at the end of a race.

they’re under adrenaline, they’re still feeling the exuberant excitement of driving their F1 car. it’s normal that they feel things 100 times more intensely.

swearing is a normal reflex of the human mind and it is a normal phenomenon, at the end of the day. it’s absolutely normal and natural that if something had gone wrong in the race with another driver and someone was feeling angry or frustrated, of course they’re gonna swear. i mean, wouldn’t you?

i swear that Ben Sulayem is trying to assert control over everything the drivers are allowed to do and, now, even say.

this is getting absolutely ridiculous and i can’t believe we have come to this. out of all the loopholes and all the rules that NEED TO make their way into the regulations, rules that would ensure the safety of the drivers and constrict what they’re allowed to do in the race and everything, nah, we’re focusing on them swearing.

come on, now. let’s be real.

do better, FIA.
