Not silly at all. Way to easy to sneak in some other fuel. Also, they'd start fueling to the absolute limit and you'd risk cars stopping on track while others are still completing their laps.

The Singapore Grand Prix was an eventful affair and a very welcome return to the F1 calendar. Though most action happened behind him, Sergio Perez won the race and was joined by Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

Doesn't make sense that they told him to abort the previous lap, surely they were monitoring fuel consumption throughout to ensure they had enough, seems they only checked at the end, maybe they had an automatic alert from the car or something
You mean Lewis?
Lewis could lose a place given the 2 summons he has for failing scrutineering and the teams incorrect filing on the driver.
This is about piercings innit.
Would love to know what that's about. Presumably if it's just a paperwork mistake it'll be a fine for the team. $50k for a recent other team mistake I seem to remember.
I can only imagine its the piercing that Lewis wore for FP3. I know that earlier in the season, Monaco?, that Mercedes were late in filing their self scrutineering because Lewis had to take his nose stud out. So likely its related to that id believe. Itll be a breach of the relevant sporting regulation (initial summons) and guess it also invalidates the teams car/driver scrutineering so they will look at that 'offence' too.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑01 Oct 2022, 16:37Would love to know what that's about.

If theypunish for that then they're going to look very silly. It could easily be blown in to accusations of discrimination against a single driver, especially following what happened over the last 12 months.chrisc90 wrote: ↑01 Oct 2022, 16:41I can only imagine its the piercing that Lewis wore for FP3.

Would it be fair to punish? Would it be discrimination? Would the stance be the same if any other driver wore a nose stud during practice/race sessions?Just_a_fan wrote: ↑01 Oct 2022, 16:43If theypunish for that then they're going to look very silly.

No, under the given circumstances it was the best decision, because otherwise he wouldn't start from p8 tomorrow.BlueCheetah66 wrote: ↑01 Oct 2022, 16:52Whoever's decision it was to abort that lap has had a huge blunder.
