There have been a number of incidents in 2019 requiring steward intervention, many of which result in a difference of opinion as to whether a penalty was or was not justified. In this article we look at the actual rules and what punitive measures are available to the race director.
They do not have to be alone on the track just X seconds apart. Say 15.
Nobody has the right to wait, on the other hand nobody should take the bullet and be the tow mule....The only solid solution would be to let the cars out in intervals. 10 cars mean 12 second interval per car and instruct them to go for full speed right from the end of the pits. Problem solved.
Exactly EVERYONE pouring out with 2 minutes on the clock on 1’20 lap. It’s idiocy from all of them.
The problem is that Vettels time was not deleted, since he drove off the track in the same way as Albon did. Albon lost it, Vettel as far as i know will keep it. The whole decision making and rule enforcing is a farce.turbof1 wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:37Yeah, this is really a disgrace.
IMO, all who did not cross the line in time should be penalized on the base of putting the sport into disrepute. The FIA clearly stated they'd give penalties for being unnecessarily slow and they actually applied those in F3. If they don't do the same here, they will lose a lot of credibility with the youngsters.
I'm sure the last thing the sport needs is more micro management. It's already overregulated. You guys are overreacting because of one single qualifying session. Think about the consequences of having more regulations. And for those asking for penalties, wouldn't that be ruining a potentially fantastic race tomorrow?
Just copied what Vettel did beforeEl Scorchio wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:36Can't fully remember, but did the Renault leave first, then immediately drive (not at anything like a good pace) down the escape road in order to avoid leading the pack? That's not on.
I think a better solution is to apply a red pitlane light at a certain time before the end of the session. If you haven't exited the pitlane when the red is on, too bad: you aren't allowed to exit anymore. Then let them decide on their own how they want to handle the tow with ample time on the board.proteus wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:39Nobody has the right to wait, on the other hand nobody should take the bullet and be the tow mule....The only solid solution would be to let the cars out in intervals. 10 cars mean 12 second interval per car and instruct them to go for full speed right from the end of the pits.

something like this is what i wanted to see:NathanOlder wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:28Wasn't that bad, they all played a game, and it finished the way it did. I found it very entertaining.
Exactly. Picking out 1 team or driver for that is missing the point that they ALL screwed this up.NathanOlder wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:41Just copied what Vettel did beforeEl Scorchio wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:36Can't fully remember, but did the Renault leave first, then immediately drive (not at anything like a good pace) down the escape road in order to avoid leading the pack?

There was a replay showing he barely touched the white line with his front right tyre, so technically he was within limits. I think.proteus wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:40The problem is that Vettels time was not deleted, since he drove off the track in the same way as Albon did.

Hulkenberg wasn't blocking he went strait at turn 1.Restomaniac wrote: ↑07 Sep 2019, 16:37So imagine Hulk doesn’t block? They left the pits with 2 minutes to go which means they would still be all over each other even if they go to the line.
Want to make the line? Don’t leave the pits with 2 minutes to go on a 1’20 GP.
I prefer one hot lap for each driver like old days, the championship leader start first! Hell this qualy, wasting our time!
