I wasn't aware that on the Austria track the following lap would also get invalidated. Would it be to prevent a driver from intentionally building up more speed for the next run?

[–] Squeak 8 points 7 months ago

Yes. Drivers could run wide to effectively open up the final corner and carry more speed down the pit straight. This prevents that.

It doesn’t matter this weekend because there’s a gravel trap, so it’s only going to be to the drivers detriment.
