Perez was a clear retirement, there was no repair possible. The rear wing assembly could have fallen off. The only reason he brought the car back is the team told him to to avoid the possibility of a safety car.
As far as I know, Max only maybe had slight damage from the contact, plus the loose tire, drivers regularly drive back to the pits in this configuration. They don’t usually keep racing/defending with a flat tire though.
Well the stewards won’t be deciding one and two now.
A tie at .000, That’s a nice number
First guess is the wheel nut started to come out of where its captive and was stuck. That’s just a guess though.
Interesting stroboscopic effect with Max and the AWS logos.
Wasn’t there a sprint qualifying recently where they never declared the track wet even though it was raining?
edit: it was 2023 Belgium
And then even went back for more.
The only food promotion is the sauces.
How slow can we drive, and still not be passed. That seems to be the question.
Can’t wait for the replay.
So they changed the shape of the wing, and the mechanics checking didn’t know the spot to check changed. oops.
It sounds like Ferrari activated their Ferrari Monaco Strategy ™ early this year
Bob Mortimer on WILTY, and I think he did it on Taskmaster too.
The point seems to be because the team was still showing him red when he went.
Trying to find it, I think your thinking of Japan 2019, but I’m not sure.
I was just looking back at Hungary, and he was reacting to something in the car. Same forward, stop, start that happened here.
Its happened before, I remember Bottas 2020 in Hungary. As far as I know, the timing for the final lights out is random so you can’t reliably time it.
There is one corner they look rather red.
The jump starts are based on telemetry, if he was behind the sensor in his box and moved and was still behind, no jump start. You can technically start moving early, so long as you don’t cross the sensor before the lights go out.
If you have no one behind, sure, but you can get a penalty if you cause the car behind to slow down.
Yes, and even if he didn’t the team should have told him, because they did know. From the report: “The team confirmed in the hearing that the driver had been advised to bring the car back to the pits as they were trying to avoid a Safety Car situation.”
If you penalize a car every time they drop carbon on the track your probably going to have at least one a race. Where did Leclerc’s end plate go, he was missing part of his wing. How about the bits of Norris’s tire that were flying everywhere, and probably bits of carbon from the floor because of it.
