F1’s racing guidꦯelines will not be revised until the 2025 season despite a breakthrough meeting with drivers at the Qatar Grand Prix.

The drivers attended a meeting with the FIA’s stewards on Thursday evening in Qatar to thrash out talks about changing F1’s racing guidelines, which have been under the microscope following several controversial incidents involving 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris.

Grand Prix Drivers’ Association director 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell said after the meeting that he hoped some alterations, specifically relating to the wording around attacking moves onꦕ inside lines, would be implemented as early as this weekend.

However, these changes will now not be made until next season, despite a driver meeting that the chairman of the FIA stewards Garry Connel♕ly described as being “the most productive” ever.

“The drivers were fantastic with their input. Very constructive. There was not one negative comment. There was no finger-pointing,” Connelly ♋said.

“It was ver🗹y inspiring to see the world's best drivers, communicating clearly and speaking constructively on how we can improve the Driving Standard Guidelines to the benefit of the drivers and to make all of our jobs ea♛sier.

“As Stewards, we are not here to infl✨ict pain on drivers. We're here to provide a level playing field. It's not us against the drivers, it's the drivers against the꧂ drivers and we're here to make sure everyone gets a fair go.

“We have an open-door policy. The door to the Stewards’ room is always open to any driver who wants to come up and talk to us about a decision that's been taken either in relation to them or 🐷in relation to any other ඣdriver. We think Thursday’s meeting emphasised that open-door policy.

“The Driving Standard Guidelines are a living document, so every year, as the F1 Stewards we try t🔴o meet with the driver꧂s, sporting directors and FIA representatives, to see if we need to tweak the guidelines to use the experience of the last 12 months and see what improvements we can make to ensure consistency. The goal of the guidelines is consistency.

“As Stewards, if drivers and teams and the FIA agree that they want rules or guidelines to allow more aggressive driving, we'll apply those rules or guidelines. Likewise, if they want stricter drivin💯g standards, we'll apply those.”

FIA single seater sporting director Tim Malyon added: “We've had some very construct🌳ive driver meetings at the la꧋st few races, and this was a specific meeting set up to provide the space for that dialogue to continue, so that we can have the open exchange that we need with the drivers in order to be able to evolve the guidelines for next year.”

Both Russell and Verstappen agreed that circꩲuit designs are the “root” cause of many of F1’s overtaking controversies, with both calling for changes 💯to be made.

Malyon said the FIA will continue to work with circuits to make improvements after taking driver f💫eedback onboard.

“What thaꦛt meeting highlighted is that there are a number of considerations on the sporting side, which we can prioritise for circuits ꧒going forward,” Malyon continued.

“As we have done this year๊, we introduced the gravel traps, starting in Austria, and obviously, with this weekend being perhaps the most obvious💝 with gravel traps added in a in a number of places.

"We continue to work with circuits on all topics, but it was very useful in yesterday’s meeting to get the insight of theﷺ drivers and see how they prioritise the gravel track concept, not only for track limits, but also for managing some of the situations that have arisen with overtaking during the course of the last four or five races.

“ꦓIn all, there was a commit🌼ment to work together to find solutions that work for everyone.”
