George Russell has voiced his concern about a rule which threatens to suspend drivers from competing due to the standard of their driving
The FIA introduced the rule in 2014 which hands penalty points for issues or mistakes on track including causing crashes, exceeding track limits or other misdemeanours. The Mercedes star expects the controversial F1 rule to be changed ahead of the 2023 season.
The rule states that if a driver accumulates more than 12 points over the course of a 12-month period, they will then be be banned from one race. Last season no drivers gathered 12 points, but Alpine member Pierre Gasly has accumulated 10 points and is two points off the dreaded mark. He will not lose any for the first six races of 2023.
