FIA makes F1 driving standards and penalty guidelines public
The FIA has made the Formula 1 driving standards and penalty guidelines available to the public in a move intended to improve transparency in decision making.
The stewards have worked to the advisory documents for multiple years but they had not been publicly released, leading to limited understanding of how each are applied to incidents. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has faced criticism at times during his tenure for failing to improve transparency within the governing body,
“FIA stewards perform a hugely complex task, not just in Formula 1 but across all of our championships, and they do this voluntarily, with great passion and commitment,” Ben Sulayem said. “That dedication is all too often met with extreme and wholly unwarranted criticism.
“To demonstrate the rigor with which they pursue their role, we are today publishing the Penalty and Driving Standards Guidelines that assist them with their decisions. This will give fans and members of the media a much deeper and more accurate insight into how decisions are made in Formula 1.
"The Penalty Guidelines have been a core tool for almost a decade while the Driving Standards Guidelines introduced in 2022 and constantly updated have brought the most important voices – those of the drivers – to the table to create a genuine reference for certain racing situations.”
