AAA decision coherence sought. Formula 1 has recently improved its product in terms of quality and performance, but too often some choices have seemed episodic and too tied to an interpretation more or less faithful to the rules. The last episode was the track limitsalmost ignored in some circuits but applied literally to the Red Bull Ring, with vibrant protests from the drivers who could not realize from the cockpit that they had exceeded the limits of the track by a few millimeters.
The problem, according to more and more exponents of the paddock, is upstream. It dates back to the choice of the FIA to have two race directors (Eduardo Freitas and Niels Wittich) following the dismissal of Michael Masi, overwhelmed by the controversy over the management of the 2021 World Cup. Although coordinated by Herbie Blash, and with all the efforts they can produce to seek objectivity, the two are different people. They will have a different vision of life, of sport, and even of the Formula 1 regulations. And the same goes for the four commissioners who accompany them, who investigate and decide on the incidents they report. And that run at every Grand Prix, dramatically increasing the range of interpretations on similar episodes.
Some dissenters are emerging among the pilots. Among them, there is Sergio Perez: “Having regular stewards would be a good thing to try and get some improvement – every time they are different. As for the two referees, you have to give them some time and help them. At the moment there seem to be many disagreements And inconsistenciesbut I believe it is important for all members of the sport to continue working together“. But the Mexican is certainly not the first to complain about the decision-making inconsistency of the marshals and race directors, a few years old theme, which cyclically returns to Formula 1. And that the FIA has always put aside.
