PROTEST 1: A protest is made that car no 1 caused accidents and DNF before T2 on L1. The rule state that: Quote: Start crash: Should any driver cause a mass crash before Turn 3 on the first lap, he will be disqualified with no exception and regardless if it was intentional or not. A mass crash is defined as 3 or more cars being involved in an incident....

PROTEST 2: A protest is made that car no 7 is hit at the start by car no 12 causing a DNF by later engine failure following the impact. The rule state that: Quote: Race behavior: A driver may use the whole width of the track and choose any line he wants but can not change line more than once between each corner. In an overtaking situation he must ...

PROTEST 3: A protest is made that car no 11 caused accidents and DNF after re-entering the track (3min17s). The rule state that: Quote: Re-entering the track: If a driver has been off the track in the race, he must try to re-enter safely. -Penalty for braking this rule is a Stop-Go in the pits or 20 seconds added to the race time. -Penalty for ...

Please accept my apology, Antoine, if that's the way you read me during and after the race. I fully appreciate the fickle nature of computer servers and in no way was upset with you for what happened in the server.... absolutely zero animosity. at the time... i believed that lag and disconnections had accounted for the entire AUS team, and i was convinced the heat would be scrapped as (...

Moreover, if you add 1 minute to my race time, it doesn't mean I should "become" lapped by 1 more lap. You can't predict that, you can't know what would have happened on the track by adding 1 minute to me. This is completely overblown and factitious and I can't accept it. I think I must have my 5 points back.

No Fulvio , nobody can judge any intension. I have nothing to decide here, but what I personally think is the following: When spinning in the sand with brake-blocked tyres, the car would have gone in a straight line away from the track. Save. No grip there. But at exactly 3m14s you do not brake anymore and turn the wheel to the right, which brings you back to the track. There was surely ...

I was trying to put the pedals "back to life" and wasn't aware of the direction the car was going... by the way, the throttle didn't work so I couldn't correct the line. Looking from the outside of the car and after the race, I reckon I should have pushed the brakes all the time and then see what could I do, but in the hasty moments of the race you can't always think quiet As far as I ...

Coming back to the track after an off is the definition of re-entering and the rule then applies. Granted there was not much control and as Flo mentions it was probably all done by reflexes, but can not be said completely out of control as there were concious steering and pedal inputs and yourself admit there should have been more brakes used - all consistent with a move to re-enter as fast ...
