In a significant development, the FIA has admitted that it made an error in not issuing a black-and-white warning flag to Max Verstappen during the Austrian Grand Prix. This acknowledgment comes after the governing body’s internal review concluded that Verstappen’s actions violated the FIA’s Driving Standards Guidelines and could have prevented a late-race collision with Lando Norris.

As the dust settles on the Austrian Grand Prix collision between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, the debate surrounding Formula 1’s racing rules continues to simmer. The FIA has been working to provide greater clarity on the rules of racing, but even its own documents acknowledge that the nature of motorsport means every incident must be judged on its own merit. The pursuit of a perfect solution will remain an ongoing challenge.
