What are the rules when it comes to overtaking in Formula 1?
Overtaking in Formula 1 is far from a ‘free-for-all’, with strict rules in place on how drivers can attack, pass, and defend, depending on the type of corner.
These were originally published early in the 2022 season and outline what is and isn’t permitted in wheel-to-wheel battles. It was published “in response to a request from F1 drivers to confirm the factors that may be taken into account by the FIA stewards when decisions are made in relation to certain repeated infringements that occur in the course of a season”.
For example, the physical context of an incident must be taken into account, such as whether drivers can be judged to have reasonably seen or anticipated a move, divebomb incidents, if the corner’s physical layout contributed to an incident, if understeer or oversteer played a role in the outcome, etc.
This is due to the overtaking driver having to go ‘the long way around’, taking a less than optimal line, while the defending driver’s trade-off is having their apex/exit speed compromised.
