The sporting regulations of Formula 1 change after the events in Abu Dhabi. Today a redefinition of the rules was approved which, according to the Circus, should avoid the repetition of what happened in Yas Marina on December 12, when the race director Michael Masi broke the rules by letting only the dubbed between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen parade. , and not all the others.
In summary, the Safety Car can return to the pits once the message ‘The lapped cars can now overtake‘was sent by the race direction to all riders, while the latter must put into practice all the necessary efforts (therefore: going quickly but without overtaking) to reconnect. Previously, the much-contested Article 48.12 (now 55.13) of the Sporting Regulations allowed the Safety Car to return to the pits only once the last car had passed the Grand Prix leader. With this expedient, the safety car re-entry procedure should be considerably streamlined.
