After the Grand Prize of Spain we discovered that four pilots, Mark Webber, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton and Jaime Alguersuari were being investigated for not respecting the yellow flags in the area where Heikki Kovalainen suffered his departure from runway. Finally, the pilots did not receive any penalty, but if they were admonished.
For the future, during the British Grand Prix could enter into force, the FIA wants to introduce a new system of warnings. Three warnings, punishment of five positions on the grid. The reprimands that be counted as a notice, include those not related to what is happening on the track. Not to attend the briefing of pilots, arriving late to the pilots press conference, or forget that you have to go through the control of weight are warnings.
That Yes, this type of more administrative sanctions only occupy one of the three warnings of the cycle. The other two will have to happen on the track. This new system would have already been discussed by the working group that the FIA has for sporting topics, although it will have to be ratified by the World Council of FIA. Entered into force, it will not retroactively and everything that has happened prior to the British Grand Prix would be removed from the "criminal" histories of the pilots.
