Italian Grand Prix 2015, Monza - Race 12/19

[Vertigo]

mercedes flounted the rule

Yeah of course, a single tyre 1.5% under-pressure was blatant flouting

 

[The_One]

Have they said when they will come to a decision? Today, tomorrow, next week, November?

due imminently (minutes)

 

[deuse]

Lower pressures = bigger contact patch = performance advantage

you heard hami say they want to run as low a pressure as they can

mercedes flounted the rule

disq them tbh

Not 0.03 there wouldn't be.

I see sky has edited out Vettel's interview.

that's a 1.5% advantage over a 50 odd lap race

damon hill had it spot on

the rule is the rule it may be just under it but its broken the rule end of

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton's tyre was under inflated by 1.5%
Rosbergs tyre was under inflated by 5.6%

 

[wesley]

how much PSI under the required?

50 laps?

Errr... No.

Rosberg did 18 laps on his tyres iirc and Hamilton did 26.

Hamilton's tyre was under inflated by 1.5%
Rosbergs tyre was under inflated by 5.6%

where did you get that from? sky say lewis was 0.03 under.

 

[Skeeter]

Just caught up with this, and wtf?

So Pirelli set the tyre pressures before the race, and then the FIA wait until 5 laps from the end to tell Mercedes they were too low. And this is a rule they are imposing on safety grounds? Bull **** is it. The FIA are just demonstrating how utterly incompetent they are at running a sport.

It doesnt work like that.

Would a 100% under inflation result in a 100% advantage?

 

[Flibster]

0.3 PSI

0.3/19.5=0.015 and change

 

[Glaucus]

Even more confusing, the letter issued says running pressure verified by telemetry is what the "rule" is based on.

 

[The_One]

It doesnt work like that.

Would a 100% under inflation result in a 100% advantage?

I know it doesn't simply work like that but under inflation is an advantage however you look at it

better contact patch and grip and less tyre wear

 

[Vertigo]

Been about 10 minutes since Lowe apparently surfaced and Sky said he was "with Ted now", yet nothing. Presumably he's been told of the judgement so why hasn't it been released/announced?

 

[Flibster]

No further action.

The results stand.

 

[The_One]

no penalty

big teams getting there way in F1 again

exact same thing occurred in GP2 and teams were DQ'd

Rofl, car telemetry, Pirelli mechanic checked in garage. Both said they were within in the rules. Only the test on grid said otherwise.
Not getting away with anything.
Combine that with the letter. Remember this rule is not in the actual rule books, its a directive letter. And that letter clearly states running pressures.

Procedures and or rules will change.

 

[Vertigo]

Jesus Sky! They cut to Wolff coming out and talking, then cut back to the presenters/pundits as they want their guy interviewing him and not just sticking their camera into someone else's, then change their minds and decide they can't wait so cut back. Hopeless.

Right decision though.
