Probably got Ferrari worried.
probably not. Fittipaldi was also the only young driver to get to (or try to at least) run softs, so I guess it's a pre-scheduled change, and Magnussen was not going to run the normal tyres in FP2 anyway.organic wrote: ↑28 Oct 2022, 22:58This is weird. Why would they not wait for Brazil to take a penalty, or take it at COTA where it's easy to overtake? Maybe they expected a good result at COTA, and wanted to delay the penalty to a later race.. It's weird. Sure an engine blew up in FP1 from Magnussen's pool, but it can't be the only ICE he has, can it?
I cannot believe they'd schedule a 5-place penalty at Mexico when they could've taken one at COTA or Brazil. Crazy!search wrote: ↑28 Oct 2022, 23:07probably not.

maybe Ferrari asked them to? I can't remember reading anything like that this season, but in the past years they didn't always had new engines for customer teams when they liked toorganic wrote: ↑28 Oct 2022, 23:11I cannot believe they'd schedule a 5-place penalty at Mexico when they could've taken one at COTA or Brazil.
