The FIA has added a clause to the Sporting Code, lowering the F1 superlicence age to 17 in individual cases. Special dispensation may be granted if they have “consistently demonstrated outstanding ability and maturity in single-seater formula car competition.” A normal drivers license is not required anymore. Paving the way for Antonelli to make his debut before he turns 18 should the opportunity arise.

So they changed the rules so that Verstappen couldn’t happen again, and now they change it back at the next opportunity?

Not to mention they changed the rules to block Colton Herta. The FIA are ever the embarrassment to the sport.
