Fernando Alonso is expecting a "very interesting" drivers' meeting on Friday in Austria where the Alpine driver will be seeking clarification on F1's racing rules in the wake of last weekend's "confusing" British Grand Prix.
At Silverstone, in the closing stages of the thrilling race, Alonso had a front-row seat to the frantic battles that took place ahead between Red Bull's Sergio Perez, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton.
The Spaniard noted several moves among the trio – like Perez leaving the track or Leclerc weaving on the straight - that should have been sanctioned by the stewards in accordance with the basic on-track rules that were laid out at the beginning of the season.
And yet all maneuvers were given a free pass by the officials.
"I think we will bring up the point tomorrow in the briefing," said Alonso on Thursday at the Red Bull Ring.
"Honestly, I watched the race on Monday and more than the movements on the straight, I saw the action between Charles, Checo and Lewis which obviously was fantastic to watch on TV and for me to witness behind the cars.
"But at the beginning of the year, leaving the track was not allowed. It was very clear black and white. And now, leaving the track and keep flat out on the run-off area and keep fighting on the following corner, is allowed.
"So that's a completely different direction with what we have seen so far. So it will be very, very interesting to clear this up."
At the end of the race, Alonso was so confident that Leclerc would be penalized for weaving that he fully expected to inherit the Monegasque's fourth place in the final standings.
But the lack of intervention by the stewards subsequently left him "confused".
"I think we have to talk," Alonso said. "Obviously, when you are side-by-side and you push someone out of the track, there are different scenarios and different manoeuvres, and different corners.
"So it is always more difficult to judge.
"But we have been told that the one thing that was very clear to police was the white line. And it was not in Silverstone.
"I mean, I leave the track in Miami on one corner and I gain an advantage for them [the FIA], and they have to imagine that I gain an advantage because I give back all the advantage.
"Now it was a clear gaining of advantage, because you can fight on the next corner on the inside or outside. So it's clear. And it was no penalty. So I'm very confused."
Alonso acknowledged the stewards' difficult job of policing the racing rules, but insisted the drivers are willing to help in order to instill clarity and consistency.
"They have a difficult job," he said. "We need to all try to help them, so I'm not saying that it was right or wrong in Silverstone. What I'm saying is that we need to have a better idea and we are here to help them.
"They are here to help us and to police the race. So we just need to make sure that we are all on the same page."
