The recent Formula 1 Grand Prix in Saudi Arabia saw a controversial podium ceremony, with the FIA intervening to ensure that the correct protocol was followed. The incident began when the race winner, Lewis Hamilton, was denied the traditional podium ceremony and instead was presented with a trophy on the track. This sparked outrage from fans and other drivers, who felt that Hamilton was not given the respect he deserved for his victory.
The FIA, the governing body of Formula 1, has now stepped in to ensure that all future podium ceremonies are conducted in accordance with the official regulations. The regulations state that the race winner must be presented with a trophy on the podium, and that the other drivers must be presented with trophies in order of their finishing positions. The regulations also state that the podium ceremony must be conducted in a respectful manner, with no inappropriate behavior or language allowed.
The incident in Saudi Arabia has highlighted the importance of following the official regulations for podium ceremonies. It is essential that all drivers and teams respect each other and follow the regulations in order to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and with respect. The FIA will continue to monitor podium ceremonies to ensure that they are conducted in accordance with the regulations.
In addition to this, the FIA has also announced that it will be introducing a new system for awarding points at Formula 1 races. This system will ensure that all drivers are rewarded for their performance, regardless of their finishing position. This should help to ensure that all drivers are given the recognition they deserve for their efforts during a race.
