Trulli Supports Drivers' Code.

Jarno Trulli has lent his support to the code of conduct originally called for by David Coulthard after the Argentinian GP.


Following an incident-filled Canadian GP, driving standards have again been brought under scrutiny, and the FIA's safety delegate Charlie Whiting is expected to have a word with the drivers before the French race. This is not thought to be enough, however, and the Grand Prix Drivers' Association is also expected to discuss the matter at its next meeting.


Trulli suggested that some drivers are being punished more severely than others, and that consistency needs to be introduced. (The rules should be the same for every driver,) he said, (Sometimes I have found judgements strange. David's idea of a code of conduct is a good one because it is difficult to judge certain situations.)


The season has been littered with incidents, but miscreants have often been dealt with differently. Coulthard - who was the victim of a forceful Michael Schumacher move in Argentina - has suggested that a set of rules be laid down to govern driver conduct. (There has to be a line you don't cross,) he said, (Ultimately, the drivers have to know what the rules are and, if you cross the line, you should be penalised without question.)


The FIA has said that it will examine the existing rules to see if they could be toughened up.
