FIA FIRES BACK At Verstappen's DRAMATIC COMMENTS & What The FIA JUST DECIDED Is INSANE!

Max verstappen has been at the center of attention with his latest Antics in Mexico and Austin and while in Texas he was able to respect the guidelines and race Norris hard forcing him to commit an overtake outside of the circuit and then be penalized for it the narrative has changed for Mexico with the stewards that handed vasten the two 10-second penalties speaking out about whether or not ven's racing style would change it would be very interesting to see how the FIA and the rest of the stewards will act if they see similar actions from the

three-time whe Champion but will they adjust to this and accept it as hard racing or will Max be made an example for the remainder of the grid to know what's good and what's not in terms of racing Maneuvers it's safe to say that Max vapen has been showing his elbows out quite hard in the last two races which was obviously needed given the fact that the rp20 lost its superiority and they're now the third fastest car on many occasions even in the Constructor Championship the Austrian team lost the lead to both McLaren and Ferrari and

announced stand in a difficult situation with a lot of pressure on their shoulders to improve be that as it may the driver's Championship is another story and with a 47-point lead headed into the last four events with two sprint races included the steward from Mexico Johnny Herbert does not expect that the three-time world champion will change the way he races elaborating further on this matter the former F1 driver who had some words to exchange with vapen regarding the swearing Saga in the press conference went on to say the penalties in Mexico won't stop Max vapen

from pushing Lando Norris off the track in the future the whole intention of vapen was to try to let the Ferrari get the one to finish I think that's definitely what vapen intended and tried to achieve I understand why he did it but I don't agree with it I don't think many people do Fair racing is something Norris has mentioned before and that's the type of fight he wants to have I don't see vapen driving changing because the number one goal is to stop Norris from closing the gap for the driver's Championship we potentially still

have a lot of interesting racing coming our way what Herbert said is not far from the truth because even for stappen himself said that if he didn't do what he did in turn eight Norris would have very likely won the race because he would have been P2 behind SS in that sequence of events and would have had the pace to get past him as he did against llaa be that as it may this will definitely pose a serious threat to the FIA to be as objective as possible because there's no doubt that we might be

looking at a lot more 10-second penalties for the behavior of the Dutchman on the track even Christian Herer believes that the racing of foren won't change in the foreseeable future something that Yos fapen has agreed with and when talking about it to a greater extent the team principal of Red Bull went on to say Max will always drive aggressively to what he perceives is the regulations when you step over that Mark then of course you'll get a penalty I just fear that we're perhaps over complicating it and all I would do is encourage that there

is a constructive discussion between the drivers and the driver stewards to say okay we're going to have another four hotly contested races and we need to see what is and what isn't acceptable it's frustrating that you don't want to have to consult a rule book on every single overtake or defense and all of these guys have grown up doing a lot of racing and understand the principles of that and I think it's just important that we don't over reggulator that's not within the guidelines in the principles of motor racing however while vapen was able to

get away in Austin because he respected the sacred rule of being ahead at the apex of the corner and therefore having every right to defend it the turn four incident with Norris in Mexico was definitely out of bounds and there's no question that penalties like that should be applied more frequently than not what we're being afraid of is the fact that vapen could indeed do this on purpose to try and take away points from Norris because as all things stand the Brit now has to outperform First happen by 12 points in the remainder of the

season if he wants to be a Champion by Thin margin which again would haunt the woking Bas Squad in terms of how much they've missed in races like for silverston Canada are Hungary and Monza on the other hand there is one man who believes that the penalties in Mexico would change the way vapen and other drivers approach the races from now on because the driver's meeting had pressurized the FIA to apply these changes in dishing out penalties from inter Lagos onwards and not wait until 2025 Wolf the team principal of Mercedes is adamant that vapen

will definitely follow the new rule book and regardless of who's racing him he will approach it with a lot more caution because he knows what's at stake and that 47 points while seeming too much can be overruled easily if some of his hard racing ends up with a dnf for him which he cannot risk furthermore wolf said a driver will always push to the limits and when the rules or the interpretation of the rules allows a certain way of racing a driver like Max is always going to exploit it now there's been a new interpretation

and execution of those regulations and I think it will change the way everyone races in the future and you won't see that anymore I think the stewards today decided they don't want to see drivers pushing each other off the track that will now be the new normality all drivers will be very aware that if you do that you risk a 5 or 10c penalty I think back in the day certain stewards had their opinion and because it wasn't penalized it basically legitimated it fair enough to have a driver who drives within the regulations and utilizes

all the margins that are given to them by stewards this is why they would have to deal with the behavior of vapen in a unique way or similar to what Hamilton had to do back in 2021 as well as lir in the early stages of 2022 when the SF 23 was competitive enough to fight for wins yos for stappen similar to herner believes that just because a pair of stewards do not like his son doesn't mean that he will change the way he races that's just the way he is and if you can find a

way to beat him around that then you're more than free to do so adding further to this extent the father of the three Tom world champion said the FIA should take a good look at the composition of the stewards of whom is appointed there and whether there are are conflicts of interest for example former drivers who are more sympathetic to certain drivers or teams you can speculate about it for a long time but at the end it makes no difference Max drives the way he wants anyway he has to because the car is just not

good enough for now he's doing everything he can to win the title and he's really not going to change his driving Style Just because there are a few stewards who don't like him but in the latest meeting that the drivers had regarding the driving style of certain drivers implying to ven Russell said that 19 out of the 20 drivers agreed that there needs to be a change in how they will approach the next couple of races and the entirety of the 2025 season obviously it's going to be very hard to do so because vapen knew

he overtook off the track in Mexico and still refused to give the position just to help Ferrari get away at the front and this is the attitude of a three-time world champion we're talking about so giving a position back is not something he's going to do just like that even though he has no right to keep it whatsoever but again Herbert has been adamant that such racing won't be tolerated in the future and when talking about it to a greater extent the steward that will be present in Brazil as well went on to say the

penalties in Mexico weren't harsh it's the guidelines we followed the teams agreed with our decisions the right decisions was made the 22nd penalty for vapen was not harsh was ven's driving Style on the edge or over the top yes it was ven's driving style was harsh especially when he was taking a fellow driver off the track it's an absolute no no from me current drivers former drivers and stewards when vapen goes into this horrible mindset of trying to gain an advantage by taking a fellow driver off the racetrack so Ferrari can get the one to

that is where he needs to know he doesn't have to do that just win in the cleanest way possible you can with all of this in mind you think the three-time world champion will change his way of driving and more importantly if he doesn't which is the general belief of the majority of the Formula 1 World do you think that the FIA would have to be a lot stricter when it comes to handling the situation with vapen let us know in the comments below and if you're interested in the latest changes that are applied for
