What happened to that Norris jumpstart? Did the stewards forget

[-] TheYang@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

I believe sky mentioned that the jump-start sensors didn't trip, indicating that he didn't cross (or touch?) the line.

Basically he stopped far enough back that his movement did not leave his designated area.

This is the rules reason he didn't get a penalty.

From a fairness standpoint, correcting from his early start threw him off and he lost a couple of places because he was slow on the real start.

They were too busy giving 10 sec penalties to Magnussen for actual racing. Ok maybe the Albon pinch was penalty worthy but 10 seconds?

I thought so too but it sounded like that was the new rule this year that they had to give a 10 second penalty.

Ahh didn't know about that thanks for the precision. Still feels a bit harsh to me, especially the second one where he went wide.

No further investigation.
