The FIA recently gathered all 20 Formula One drivers to discuss the intense showdown between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris at COTA. While changes to rules might be on the horizon, the drivers have kept details under wraps after qualifying.
During Friday’s briefing in Mexico City, following a heated media day on Thursday, drivers shared their thoughts on the matter. Some felt Verstappen exploits unclear areas in the rule book when defending his position.
Carlos Sainz spoke first about the meeting, saying it was productive. “Many drivers voiced their feelings about each situation and discussed the best path forward,” he said. He added that while current rules remain unchanged for this weekend, future races like Qatar might see improvements for clearer understanding and better racing overall.
Verstappen Keeps It Short
After Sainz, Verstappen simply agreed, saying Carlos explained everything well. Lando Norris showed agreement with a thumbs-up but stayed silent.
Sky Sports mentioned that Norris and Verstappen did talk during the meeting. Craig Slater reported it was a lively discussion with direct exchanges between them about defending and overtaking, but they remained calm and respectful. Fans might wonder if these talks will lead to fairer races in the future.
In conclusion, while no major changes are confirmed yet, there’s hope for progress soon. What do you think should happen next?
