2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix - Jeddah, March 25 - 27

[Stu]

They were definitely working later in the race.

[Wouter]

They were definitely working later in the race.

But only very, very occasionally. That has to be repaired, because they are not allowed to drive it like this.

Im shocked its not pulled up on from the stewards. If its a regulation, then it should be adhered to at all times.

[f1jcw]

A lot of regulations should be adhered at all times, sadly they are not.

[dialtone]

If the car breaks but presents no clear danger there is a decade long history of not intervening by stewards. For example if a car chips off a side of the front wing it’s breaking rules about the car being symmetrical, they will let it race so long as the wing part isn’t dangling and risks flying off in someone else’s face.

EDIT:
I should have gone for a more recent example: when the RedBull DRS wasn't working properly last season, they didn't get disqualified or called into the pits.

A none functioning regen indicator light is a big tactical advantage.

Meatballing for that would be a very big step, too big. But Ferrari needs to get warned this can not happen again.

No it is not, especially not compared to a non properly working DRS which is both unsafe and irregular and they were let race for multiple races with that last season.

Hop off the high horse.

The RB drs was always working as it should in quali and race?

Anyhow, that was last season, we are in 2022 season now

I am just glad you hopped off the high horse now.

Rewatch Q3 Brazil 2021. In Max's best run in Q3 his drs flaps around at the end of the straight before closing

Can't read this graph . Does red side mean Ferrari faster and blue side mean that RBR is faster, maybe the other way around? Judging by the virtual safety car stuff I would assume that red side is Ferrari slower, but seems strange.

I think it shows that Leclerc benefitted and thus Max's win is even better. Or something.

I'm not sure how that's possible. Until the first pit stop Verstappen was some seconds behind Leclerc but if blue is benefit for RBR then it would mean Verstappen was ahead, which clearly wasn't the case.
