Kimi Raikkonen says drivers are rarely listened to by rule-makers when they voice their concerns about Formula One.Raikkonen labelled F1s rule enforcement a joke in Hungary after seeing Max Verstappen escape punishment despite some very aggressive driving under braking as the pair diced for fifth position. It came at the end of a controversial weekend, which also involved confusion over yellow flag rules in qualifying.With Fridays driver briefing expected to be a long one with plenty of issues on the table , Raikkonen doubts the discussions will lead anywhere meaningful.Theres always a lot of talk in Formula One, half the time its rumours and the other half is something else, Raikkonen said. Theres nothing wrong with meetings, when theres a purpose behind its fine, then we get somewhere. If you guys [the media] were there in the meetings, youd see its been the same things for the last ten years. Most of the time, its about blue flags and circuit limits - stuff like that. Obviously now there will be another thing.Sometimes it feels thaat if theyd listen to what we say it would probably change and fix somethings but were not the guys that make the rules.dddddddddddd We say our side of the story and who knows what happens with that. For sure there will be discussions, but lets see what happens.When asked if he has spoken to Verstappen to clear the air, Raikkonen said it did not matter because the next incident he has with a driver could lead to a different verdict from the stewards.No, I havent had any talks with anybody. In a way, its hard to say what will happen the next time, it may even never happen, you never know. You cannot just rely on what happened the last time because people will look at it in a different way.If the next time we touch they me penalise me or him - thats the problem, because you cannot say this is how to drive and this is whats going to happen next time. It may be a completely different story and thats the issue. ' ' '
