Oscar Piastri was asked whether F1 drivers were dive-bombing more in Mexic𝓀o after discussing the topic in th🅺eir briefing.

Last week, the traditional drivers’ briefing was reportedl💧y d꧒ominated by talk of how to interpret the F1 guidelines.

It was suggested to McLaren driver Piastri that this debate ♛was followed by a noticeable increase in dive-bombs 𒁏to the apex.

Piastri denied it, saying: “Not mas🌼sivelyಌ, I don't think.Personally, I didn't think it was that much different.

“Itಞ depends on, I guess, sometimes the people involved. And not everyone races in exactly the same way.

“I think we're all ve🐟ry, very hard. But I didn't really notice a change, personally.

“There was obviously the contact with Liam Lawson and Checo Perez, which was very,൲ very hard. But I don't think it really ch൲anges.

“There are ❀these guidelines out there, but I think there's a few principles we have as drivers - you don't really want to crash the car because it hurts and it costs money.

“And also, you don't want anyone to overtake you.

“So to then think in the moment that ‘I'm just going to release the brakes to get ahead at the apex and not worry a☂boꩲut the consequences’ or whatever?

൩“It goes a bit further than just𒆙 what's written on a piece of paper, I think.

“May🥀be some people will race a bit differently with some of the Stewards' decisions, but that happens with every incident.

“It kind of sets a precedent no matte♓r what it is. So I don't think it will change that mu🎉ch, but we'll see.”

Max Verstappen was penalisedꦍ twice by the stewards in Mex🎃ico for clashes with Lando Norris.

The grey line of legality on the race-track is a hot topic at this weekenꦉd’s F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Piastri🍷 was asked abo🗹ut whether he is content with the racing guidelines and whether they need to be amended.

“Yes, there probably are some tweaks that need to be made,” the McLaren d꧒river said.

“And, you kno𝔉w, the FIA has acknowledged that and wants to work with us on ♏that, which is very positive.

“But I think in general, we've got more consistency, maybe some things can still be a bit mor𒐪e consistent, but I think at least for the Stewards, they now have a set of guidelines as to what kind of rule should be applied.

“I think we all ཧagree that the rules may be not perfect and should be changed a bit.

“But at least we have something to look back to, 🐼which we didn't have before that.

“So I think thiܫngs can always be improved. These guidelines haven't been around for that long in the grand scheme🧸 of things.

“Again, you can't write rules, especially in racing, that are going✤ to cover every single possibility and situation.

“So you always 💞do need a kind of subjective steward to add their thoughts. But yes, I think we're in a much better place than we have been.

“And theꦆ FIA has been very, very supportive of trying to c🍌hange that with us.”
