They sorted it quickly enough for Ocon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted March 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) So he was given a ten second penalty for the rear jack touching the car when no work was supposed to be allowed during the original penalty. That removed his podium position. Then, Aston Martin appealed staying that loads of other teams put the jack in position during penalties and weren't penalised, and the stewards agreed. Basically, it seems that they've never really defined what "working on the car" means properly. Edited March 19, 2023 by Lichfield Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them put the jack in position and thought maybe they were breaking a rule. I can't figure out if I'm right or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't figure out if I'm right or not I reckon until now lots of people have been breaking the rule but getting away with it. There will probably be a memo go out now confirming NO touching the car at all during the penalty period, otherwise punishment to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Lost interest already sadly. Regardless of team it's always boring when one runs away with it and I don't love the sport enough these days to care about the battle for 5th place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted March 28, 2023 Author Moderator Share Posted March 28, 2023 It's Rawe Ceek! And Ferrari are rumoured to be taking a big step forward in Oz. Quote Mercedes are not the only ones working on new sidepods it seems with a report saying Ferrari will unveil their new design at Imola. Ferrari have perhaps the most distinctive sidepods of any team on the grid and although it is not that area that has caused them problems over the past year, there is always room for improvement. More and more teams seem to be converging on the Red Bull style of sidepod and the Italian edition of Motorsport.com is now reporting that Ferrari will bring an upgraded SF-23 to their first home race of the season. But worryingly for Ferrari fans, the upgrade is not expected to put them in competition with Red Bull but instead hold off Aston Martin for the P2 spot. Ferrari had hoped to have these upgrades ready for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix which comes following a three-week break after the race in Melbourne but the parts will not be ready in time. The work is being done under the leadership of head of the chassis area Enrico Cardile but the new design is not expected to look like Red Bull’s. More in link...
