Keep in mind that Petter has the right of way, as the others come from the joker. And note that both Petter and JK were capable of stopping for that corner, Ekstrom decided to go flat, almost passing the both of them.

It's all a bit of a mess. Firstly, possible that Solberg is in Ekstroms blind spot at the merge. Secondly, Petter makes a slight move towards Mattias, that first touch is fair game from my view, racing incident. Thirdly, Ekstrom didn't go flat, the braking just wasn't efficient because his wheels were in the air after the contact with the back of Johan's car. Finally, Petter wasn't stopping either, he used Johan as a brake. The position is given back by default of him being slower but I'll admit that he didn't lift like I thought. All told it's just a bit of carnage and easier to not issue any penalties.
As far as I know Petter hadn't even complained about it, and he's the one that had most reason to complain.You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Also: "Mattias Ekstrom #1, relegated from second to third place in semi-final one for not respecting the priority of the driver on the standard lap at the Joker merge."
The why the hell did Ekstrom start on row two of the grid in the final, and Petter on row three?

They didn't make the decision in time. It's something that's caused an issue before, once this season (can't remember where) and in Canada last year when Timur was penalised before they saw footage to show he wasn't at fault. One of the problems of being live on TV is that they don't have much time between semi-finals and finals. Presumably they are also stewards for RX2 as well, which also limits the time they have to make a decision between races.
Edit: I'm not sure I 100% agree with the decision though, to me it looks like Ekstrom is already back on track. I thought that they point of the joker merge rule was to stop drivers pushing to get back on the main circuit?Last edited by MrJan; 13th November 2017 at 19:13.

Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
