Okay so 58.1 and he wouldn’t have got a penalty? Does it make a difference whether the track is wet or dry? How does a driver know whether they apply 58 or 55 psi of pressure when they warming their brakes up? They didn’t answer the question at all did they.

It’s just like the stupid business if no stopping in the pit lane we had a few years ago, which became unenforceable and then abandoned all because of max.

never herad it was 'cause of Max everyone was taking the piss Russell was pinged in canada for 30psi ( no action taken) I think it was a combination of factors ( i am not defending any of them) it was noted 1/

on the previous restart that Pia was aggressive on the braking, but the stewards decided on a watching brief. SC lights went out later this time and Pia, wanting to run at the next corner, wanted to let the sc go. broke a little harder.

did Max make a meal of it? probably, but Pia didnt follow the specific rule about stop starting when leader becomes the SC, that combined with the visibility, the fact that the stewards were watching for it means he got a pen. i am less suspicious this time rou d as Warrick wasn't on duty this week

For the record I don’t care what the rules are re braking and safety cars. However, they need to be clear and they are not atm.

i dont think you can ever have clear unequivocal rules with racing beyond car specs and weight. Everything on track during a race is by its very nature situational. the drivers know this, the teams know this. part of racing is getting away with it, or not.

I get that to some extent although many rules are clear. Speed re vsc, 10 car lengths etc. but cars will have to brake aggressively to maintain heat. What’s to stop max from always being very close to prevent the lead car from doing any brake warm up? The rules clearly need updating/clarifying
