Chinese Grand Prix 2013, Shanghai - Race 3/19

Yep :(

FIA said:
“Car two was not driven back to the pits under its own power and was unable provide the fuel sample as required.”

“The team admitted it had not put sufficient fuel in the car. As specified in the technical delegate’s report (Document 21), only 150ml of fuel was on board which was insufficient to provide the 1 litre fuel sample and drive the car back to the pits under its own power.”

FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer said in his report: “During the second qualifying practice session today car number two, driver Mark Webber, stopped on the circuit at turn 14.

“It was checked whether car number two had enough fuel on board in order to be driven back to the pits under its own power and in addition to this that a one litre fuel sample could be taken.

“The car had 150ml fuel on board which is not enough for the required one litre fuel sample and to drive the car back to the pits under its own power.”
 
I thought F1 was supposed to be going more green and less wasteful? Surely making tyres that last a few laps is just going backwards on that? :confused:

They get recycled iirc. There was some video from Pirelli a few weeks ago about it.
 
Some big issue with DRS there as it shouldn't allow them to use it? Half the field on that list and earlier two drivers.

May as well use DRS wherever you want now. If it's safe to do so under yellow flags, it's safe to use everywhere.

A drive through for each of the cars affected would have made the teams and drivers pay attention to this in the future, even if the two way telemetry system isn't working.

A bit of an over the top reaction especially as you don't know what happened, who used it where and for how long.
 
That reminds me, I need to do the result for China in the Moral World Drivers Championship. I think Webber's going to be on the podium at least. Remind me, though, was Kimi's nose job his own fault?

50/50 imo with Perez. Kimi seems to moan a lot this year.
