[nytimes] Lando Norris’ Qatar penalty and safety car timing explained by FIA (12ft.io)

submitted 2 weeks ago by wes to c/formula1

5 comments fedilink

Summary: The FIA defended Lando Norris's 10-second stop-and-go penalty at the Qatar Grand Prix for failing to slow under double-waved yellow flags, citing safety protocols. McLaren criticized the severity, as Norris dropped from second to last before recovering to 10th. The FIA also explained the delayed safety car deployment, noting initial debris posed minimal risk until worsened by a collision. Safety procedures, including a swap of malfunctioning safety cars, are under review. The race director’s expanded workload and governance issues added to scrutiny.

[Grandprixdriversassociation on Instagram] GPDA Statement regarding “Driver Misconduct” in c/formula1

[–] wes 9 points 1 month ago

TLDR: The GPDA statement addresses concerns over driver misconduct, emphasizing that drivers must respect referee decisions. They differentiate between casual swearing and insulting language, and criticize the FIA President’s public tone and unnecessary media instructions to drivers. The GPDA opposes driver fines, calling for financial transparency from the FIA and greater collaboration among all stakeholders to improve the sport.

It's understandable that things get tense at the end of this season and there is a lot of drama going on, but please be civil and respectful to each other. Discussion is great but no insults / xenophobic remarks as it does not lead to anything but frustration.
