Wait...how would she not know. It's 50/50 on her and her crew. But fully a shitshow.
She heard nothing from her race engineer and the flag waving is often difficult to see. It's actually pretty common for drivers not to know exactly how many laps are left without being reminded.
Damon Hill said that he thinks the lights are the starting grid should also be used to signal the end of a race, and tbh that seems pretty logical.
Can she look at her steering wheel for race info?
It's not what the wheels display. Not even sure if the F1A cars have a Display. They show more general car information and laptime data.
until you approach the end of the race. even if the engineers didn't proactively mention it she should have been asking them.
She did. Even the broadcast played her question of how many laps are left but the pitwall crew didn't reply.
yikes, massive engineering fail then.
Her team really dropped the ball on this one.
By pushing for fastest lap which she didn't have until the very last lap and the pitwall taking off their headphones and high-fiving rather than communicating.
