Following
unfortunate misunderstandings in the Grands Prix at Valencia and Spa,
the FIA has revised the Red Car Rule for Formula 1. These amendments
will be applied with immediate effect:
- Overtaking a Ferrari is not permitted under any circumstances.
- In the pit lane, a Ferrari always has precedence over other cars.
- Any driver finishing less than 25 seconds ahead of a Ferrari will be penalized 25 seconds.* If neither Ferrari finishes in first place, the stewards reserve the
right to declare the result null and void (or to adjust it as
necessary).- Only Ferrari drivers are permitted to use anything other than ‘designated’ parts of a circuit.
- If forced off the ‘designated’ part of the track by a Ferrari, the
guilty driver should immediately crash his car and return to the pits.- Any driver or team appealing against any FIA decision in favour of
Ferrari may be subject to a fine and/or the deduction of points.
*Subject to post-race adjustment by the stewards.(come on Lewis, stick it to ’em in Brazil)
