@paddy_kot@GenesisCOffishl I believe they get to choose the weekends they give up their car, but it would have likely been decided before the season started. So basically he didn’t know he was going to have all these issues and then on top of it have to give up his car.
@DParkerF1 I don’t think it’s that deep either but it does show their lack of attention to detail. If they miss something this insignificant what else is this team missing?
@philosopherARMY@LNFOURS@russellatte I don’t consider Montreal bad luck because as you said he drove poorly, but it was definitely lucky that at least he finished.
@navycshelby@norr1zzgame So he might have a shot, but it does seem the FIA sensor might have had an issue so that could work against him because they won’t reverse all the penalties.
@navycshelby@norr1zzgame Ya lots of drivers did. George got one too and then a drive through for not serving the 5 second penalty correctly. It seems there may have been an issue with how they were measuring the speed. So if you take away Pierre’s penalty do you also take away Oscar and George’s?
@navycshelby@norr1zzgame But it’s more complicated than that. Oscar also got a 5 second penalty and for speeding in the pit lane and he served it that’s how Pierre got ahead of him.
@philosopherARMY@LNFOURS@russellatte He drove into the wall in Australia and the team chose to put on inters that’s not bad luck. China and Japan were bad luck though
@ThePrestonJones@F1BigData For the PU it’s a 10 place grid penalty for the first extra one used and I believe a 5 place penalty for any additional ones after that.
@readnvibee@ln4norris Maybe. They said the battery they swapped out in FP3 in Japan might be able to be used again, but the first one from China is definitely unusable.
