George Russell has suggested that “19 out of 20” drivers are aligned on what Formula 1’s racing guidelines should be and was pleased to see “unfair” racing manoeuvres penalised at the Mexican Grand Prix.
Russell, who serves as a director of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, has been vocal on the need for the drivers, stewards and the FIA to discuss the current guidelines on racing in the wake of the US Grand Prix’s contentious battle between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris.
Speaking in Mexico, where the two championship contenders once again came under scrutiny for their on-track actions – Verstappen penalised 20 seconds for two violations – Russell said that he expected the stewards to continue to take a hard-line approach.
He revealed that all but one driver was happy for the stewards to change their approach with penalising certain incidents immediately after Austin, rather than wait until 2025 for new guidelines.
“I think the stewards are totally on board with what needs to change,” Russell said.
“Our view is…I think the biggest discussion is they wanted to wait until ’25, so it’s something consistent through this year. I would say 19 out of 20 drivers said, ‘well, if it’s incorrect, make the change today’.
“And I’m glad to see those incidents were punished and I suspect moving forward in Brazil what we saw today [Sunday] and what we saw last week [in Austin] you won’t be able to get away with.
“You presume [it should be easy to change if everyone agrees], but it sometimes seems more difficult than it has to be when things have to get approved and we’ve got to go to a vote app. But as I said, 19 out of 20, we’re all aligned on where it needs to be.”

Russell pointed to his own battle with team-mate Lewis Hamilton as “hard and fair” racing, in which the younger Briton held off his team-mate until the start of the 66th lap.
He also had his say on the Verstappen/Norris incident, stating that the Dutchman’s Turn 7 move – in which he carried significant overspeed into the corner and ran Norris off – was something he hadn’t seen since Verstappen’s move on Hamilton at Brazil in 2021.
“It was nice to have the battle and it’s always good when you fight with Lewis because it’s hard and fair,” Russell said.
“At the moment you’re seeing a number of manoeuvres that are just…it’s getting beyond entertaining or beyond sporting, it’s just almost unfair to a point now.
“You can argue the first one was maybe 60-40. The last one, I’ve not seen anything like that since probably Brazil [2021].”

Lando Norris says he “knew what to expect” after being on the receiving end of “not very clean driving” by Max Verstappen in Formula 1’s Mexican Grand Prix.
One week after the pair fought hard in Austin, a duel for which Norris was penalised for overtaking his title rival off track, Verstappen and Norris again battled in the early stages of the Mexico City race.
Norris attacked Verstappen for second place around the outside of the Turn 4 left-hander, which would yield him the inside for the following switchback.
As at Austin, Norris was pushed off by Verstappen, but because this time the McLaren driver was ahead at the apex it was Verstappen who was penalised. Using the same racing guidelines that had dominated the conversation over the past week, the stewards handed Verstappen a 10-second penalty.
Verstappen then attempted to retaliate at Turn 8 and went off while repassing Norris, sending both cars wide and forcing Norris to take evasive action. The stewards handed the Dutchman another 10-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.
Norris was vocal on the team radio about what he felt was “dangerous driving” by Verstappen and said afterwards he wasn’t surprised by his title rival’s moves.
“I knew what to expect. I didn’t want to expect such a thing because I respect Max a lot as a driver, but I was ready to expect something like this,” he said. “This is not very clean driving, in my opinion, but I avoided it, and it was a good race.
“The first few laps, a lot of it was just trying to stay in the race and avoid any crashes.”

McLaren CEO Zak Brown congratulated the stewards for taking action after the British team had been vocal about Verstappen’s racing style for a while.
“Probably not enough,” he commented about Verstappen’s penalties to Sky Sports F1. “I mean, it’s getting a bit ridiculous. I applaud the FIA stewards, enough’s enough. Let’s just have some good clean racing moving forward.
Asked if he was satisfied with the FIA’s response, he replied: “I think the stewards are on it. That’s clear by the penalties that they assessed. So, I don’t think we need to do anything, just let the stewards do their job. They did a good job this weekend.”
