Hello; Had to look the disqualification up as it is news to me. I know of the "plank rules". Have known of them for many years. So have the teams. Keeps the teams from setting the ride height too low and thus gain an advantage. Same rules for each car best as I know.Disqualified?!
Fail a tech regulation and that is the result. Was a nice race weekend.Disqualified?!
But can you even imagine the uproar if Lewis had won instead of being second before the DQ?
Yeah, would have been worse had he won. The track was bumpy though and it was a sprint weekend so there’s more use of the car than normal race weekends.
It makes no sense to have a maximum wear for multiple "races" (sprint, race). Teams should be allowed or even required to install new planks after any points paying session.
Yeah not sure what the rules are. Would not make sense to not be able to replace the floor during a Sprint weekend since it’s technically a wear part as well.
Hello; Yes to this. I know he has a share of warts, but he is my favorite among current drivers.
Very interesting take. I'd really like to see how NASCAR does with a standing start. F1 is so difficult to pass I think they all try to get that position at the start whereas NASCAR you have the next 3-5 hours to gain the spots lol. I wonder if F1 did side by side rolling start if they would have as many accidents and if NASCAR did standing start how they would fare. I'm sure circle tracks wouldn't be as big of an issue as a road course.
Hello; Very good points all. You nailed the need to get track position early in F1 before the follow the leader stuff starts. There can be more lead changes in one lap of a NASCAR race than in an entire F1 race.
