Relevant info:

But after the car was recovered to the pit lane, the FIA were unable to extract the stipulated one-litre fuel sample from the C43 machine, leading to Bottas being disqualified from proceedings – although the stewards have ruled that the two-time Silverstone pole-sitter can start the race in P20.

Does this mean the reason he had to pull out in the first place was because he ran out of fuel?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It had to be. There was almost nothing left in the car. I get the feeling the FIA wil be testing the car frequently for underfueling now. Looks a bit dodgy for Alfa

Technically this breaks the rules by stating Bottas' position, but I honestly can't think of a reasonable way of phrasing it that wouldn't make this obvious anyway.

Alfa x Ferrari
