speeding behind safety car

[Ciro Pabón]

Well, I've read the rules like a dozen times and I think yes.

What if McLaren engineers aren't aware of that? That would explain their silence.

Ciro is on quite a roll today.

Oh, c'mon. You weren't here yesterday. If Ham has another problem, I'm gonna die of keyboard exhaustion. The last technical thread disappeared from the board before Monaco.

So, you're saying I shouldn't start a thread on this...

A new promotion called All Wheels Wrestling will be taping footage at the Impact Wrestling Zone in Orlando on June 29th for a pilot episode on the Speed Network and a potential series in 2012.

PWInsider.com reports that the Speed Network had been looking to do a wrestling-related series for months. One of the holds ups would be who would own the property and the show.

TNA is involved with the taping, they have purchased the trademark and domain name for the property. NASCAR driver Hermie Sadler is involved in some capacity as well, helping TNA with material needed for the taping.

There are reports that Jeff Jarrett is involved with the taping, but that is not confirmed. The taping was also a surprise to some within the TNA office, as it wasn’t something being discussed internally.

It was rather dubious, considering both Mclarens didn't set a fasted sector time under the SC. Unless the Delta time is actually a lot more accurate than the sector times, so their speeds can be measured at all times instead of just between two points.

It didn't matter in the end anyway, it just made the race more exciting!

well , I started this thread , not because I didn't think a penalty was justified but because , despite looking through the sector times , I couldn't figure out what happened

I wondered if someone else could put their finger on it

seems not

[Caito]

Maybe it's naive, but... have you tried sending an email to the FIA?

If they made an error it's already too late to fix it anyway..

Sorry for interrupting, guys.

Actually, I think you should. Only thing that could save us now is good humour or All Wheels Wrestling, either would do.

Have all forums have gone "à la Schumacher" again, or just this one?

Thanks. Now, on thread.

No, Lebesset, I cannot help, I cannot understand very well what happened, as you do.

Caito, I think Lebesset is not protesting anything, just asking what happened.

I think you try to make a connection between sector times and delta times under SC. But they are not connected. One may have a relatively slow sector and still arrive at the check point ahead of his individual delta time.

Stop 1: Lap 8, Puncture, Wets to Inters. Pos: 14

In an attempt to salvage opportunity from disaster, McLaren put Button onto inters. The stop demonstrated how pitting under the safety car in Montreal is less costly than elsewhere, for while he crossed the start/finish line at the end of the pitlane in 14th, by the time he'd charged out into the pack at the first corner complex, he blended into 12th place, behind Pastor Maldonado.
The safety car made the tyre choice a little less risky in that there were four laps of slow running, which helped the track to dry further.

Unfortunately, during the safety car period Button had exceeded the speed limit, and that earned a drive-though.

Paddy Lowe: "Jenson got a drive-through for not meeting the safety car timing. He was a little bit too quick in one sector. In trying to make up the time he overcooked it."

He couldn't take the drive through under the safety car, and came in at the first opportunity after the green.

Stop 2: Lap 13: Drive-Through Penalty. Pos: 15

That's why, what better than the FIA to tell you what happenned.

[lebesset]

I have tried Emailing the FIA before ...no response

and we have 2 comments quoted here , one from autosport saying button exceeded the speed limit under the safety car [ as far as I know there is no speed limit , just sector times ]
one from paddy lowe

nothing from FIA

and what about hamilton , can only have been the first 4 laps
