Formula 1 drivers have seen a substantial decrease in penalty points this season, with only one point issued so far, per Autosport. This trend suggests a significant improvement in the relationship between drivers and the FIA.
The current season has witnessed a marked change in how penalties are handed out, with drivers collecting just a single penalty point in seven races. Franco Colapinto is the only driver to have received a penalty point this year.
This development is attributed to the improved relations between the FIA and the drivers, which have been described as the best since Charlie Whiting's era, according to Motorsport.com. For Indian fans, this means a more exciting racing experience, with fewer interruptions due to penalties, when they tune in to watch the races on FanCode.
The reduction in penalty points is a positive sign for the sport, indicating a better understanding between the governing body and the drivers. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see if this trend continues.
