The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile has released, for the first time, the full Penalty Guidelines and Driving Standards Guidelines that steer stewarding decisions in the Formula One World Championship. The documents were published on 25 June and circulated widely a day later amid mounting calls from teams, drivers and fans for clearer and more consistent race-control rulings. The Penalty Guidelines catalogue roughly 100 typical infringements and set out indicative sanctions and licence-penalty points. The companion Driving Standards Guidelines—created in 2022 and refined after consultations with drivers at last season’s Qatar Grand Prix—clarify acceptable conduct during overtaking, safety-car periods, track-limit breaches and other race situations. While the papers carry no regulatory force, they serve as reference tools for stewards when read alongside the sporting code and race evidence. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said the move aims to demonstrate “the rigour” of volunteer stewards and to give fans and media “a much deeper and more accurate insight” into decision-making. Mercedes driver George Russell welcomed the step, calling greater transparency “beneficial for the sport.” The governing body plans to issue similar guidelines for its six other world championships, including Formula E and the World Endurance Championship.
