Lewis Hamilton has won the Brazilian Grand Prix, but it wasn't until Verstappen spun due to contact with a backmarker that he took the lead to victory. Verstappen ended a furious second, narrowly ahead of Raikkonen and Ricciardo.

Why can't you hear it on the onboard?
To me it looked like he did turn his engine off.nevill3 wrote: ↑10 Nov 2018, 21:27I have just watched the Vettel incident on the F1.com website and he does not turn his engine off at all whilst being weighed, the regulations clearly state that adriver is to report to the weighbridge (garage) stop and turnoff his engine.

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/13996 ... n-nearmissHamilton, who went on to take pole position, claimed after qualifying that Sirotkin was in the wrong to attempt the overtake.
"Everyone was on an out-lap - me, Sergey, and everyone in front of me," he said.
"Valtteri [Bottas] was ahead of me and he was backing off to get his gap so I had to make sure I kept a gap to him.
"As far as I was aware there was no-one behind on a [fast] lap, so I was looking out, making sure I had a gap, and then all of a sudden out of Turn 11 I saw a car coming at high speed, so I was like: 'Oh my God, is that someone on a lap?'
"I went to move to the left, and that's where he decided to go. But he wasn't on a lap so I don't really know what his thinking was.
"Respectfully, between all the drivers, we all do respect [the gaps] - I could have tried to overtake Valtteri, or Valtteri whoever was in front of him. We all know [to] keep our space by that point.
"It was generally quite a disrespectful move. It was dangerous between us both."
Sirotkin slowed up after the near-miss and was passed back by Hamilton as they crossed the start-finish line to start their respective flying laps.
He briefly looked at overtaking Hamilton into Turn 1, but backed out of the move.
"It was kind of strange," Hamilton said. "It was completely unnecessary because he had a space behind him, so ultimately his lap and my lap weren't great. Hopefully he can learn from it."
It is difficult because the vid and sound is a bit off sync also when the pit wall is talking you cannot hear from vettel but I think his engine is on. I think I hear an idle engine sound but cannot tell 100%. It is easy to tell for stewards and guys trying to weigh him though. People around him are slow moving because Vettel is not following protocol and they are "what the hell is going on?!".timbo wrote: ↑10 Nov 2018, 21:32To me it looked like he did turn his engine off.nevill3 wrote: ↑10 Nov 2018, 21:27I have just watched the Vettel incident on the F1.com website and he does not turn his engine off at all whilst being weighed, the regulations clearly state that adriver is to report to the weighbridge (garage) stop and turnoff his engine.

I watched it with headphones on and you can clearly hear the engine running and if you look carefully at the steering wheel there are still items on the display
yes he did turn it off and started it using the KERS after the official moved overtimbo wrote: ↑10 Nov 2018, 21:32To me it looked like he did turn his engine off.nevill3 wrote: ↑10 Nov 2018, 21:27I have just watched the Vettel incident on the F1.com website and he does not turn his engine off at all whilst being weighed, the regulations clearly state that adriver is to report to the weighbridge (garage) stop and turnoff his engine.

I think it's enough to look at the steering wheel. The lights on the upper part which show how much the engine is revved up shut off completely. When in idle, you can normally see just a single green light on the left side.
Maybe they simply refer that he did not switch off his engine before he rolled on the scales. I dont know how sensible they are, maybe they get shot by engine vibrations alone. The car had the engine running when he drove on the cells. If only one cell was shot, it could mean that computer cant or wont take the proper reading and fall into an error.
It was a good session with tricky conditions which is always good for us. When it’s cloudy and damp, we always perform better. The car felt very good, I had one run less than everyone else in Q1 and managed to get through which is positive for us. We went into Q2 thinking the rain would come, and when I exited the pits, due to the changeable conditions the scrubbed tyres were cold meaning I had to push hard to generate temperature. On my lap, I had to slow down to avoid Lewis, which in turn meant putting a wheel on the grass and ruining the lap. Overall, it was a good session and we are happy with the performance.
