The
FIA is considering introducing a new measure for infractions during yellow flag situations. This is the view of race director
Michael Masi, after the stewards were criticised for not penalising
Fernando Alonso for a foul during qualifying in Turkey.
Ironically, this comes just days after Alonso's statement, in which he accused the
FIA and the stewards of not treating everyone the same. Under this year's regulations, drivers must abort their lap when double yellow is waved, whereas previously this was considered a situation where one had to get off the gas.
In qualifying for the
Turkish Grand Prix there was a commotion after the stewards decided not to penalise Alonso for breaking the rule. Masi then announced plans to have lap times automatically deleted for future infractions, which could come into effect as soon as Austin.
