This is not a site that follows F1, what makes the news even more weird.
Does anyone knows if it is true?

The new pitlane and paddock for this year.
Lotus insists its participation in the Brazilian Grand Prix is not in doubt, despite security staff blocking access to its garage at Interlagos on Wednesday.
Team personnel were not allowed to unpack the team's freight or continue work on preparing the cars, by officers who were stationed at the front and rear of the garages.
A team spokesman confirmed that the team was dealing with the situation – which related to an unspecified 'commercial arrangement'
This is not Brazilian Police, it is a "mall guard".

The pit lane loss is in the table. It is there at 23 seconds for Nico. Lewis lost 24 seconds druing his pit as u can see.tomazy wrote:How did you come to this conclusion?Moose wrote:Pit lane loss at Intelagos is 16.4 seconds, not 22.8. The time it takes to go through the pits is 22.8 seconds. The pit lane loss is that, minus the time it takes the other driver to drive the straight.
If lewis had a gap of 22.4 seconds, then he would have come out 6 seconds in the lead.
Nico did an in lap of 1:20.6 and an out lap of 1:32.3. He was averaging around 1:15.3 lap times in that part of the race. So he lost 5.3s on an in lap and 17s on an outlap, so I would say his pit lane loss was 22.3 not 16.4? or an I missing something?Kingshark wrote:
