The Crane and Lewis

Can't be bothered to read all the posts (sorry :) ) , but Hamilton stayed in his car kept the engine running so there's nothing stopping him continuing. He did lose a lap in the gravel but a BMW pitted when the race restarted putting himself behind Hamilton. As Hamilton was between two drivers on the lead lap he was allowed to overtake the field and the safety car, to get out of the way.

Try reading all the posts - it's all been covered and the FIA have instructed the court marshals on the correct procedures.

[quote="Sleeper"]^The car was busted.

Autosport are reporting today that the FIA have decided to ban the practice of using the tractor to get a vehicle out of the kitty litter. It seems that their main worry is that it could open up the way to marshels showing favouritism to certain drivers when their is more than one car in the gravel. QUOTE]


Oh No! Heavens above! We can't have favouritisum! That would never do! That just wouldn't be sporting! Cough, splutter!

Well, its happened before and they dontr want a return to marshaling of the 70's.

I would have thought safety concerns would have been involved, but since the marshals would have been working on clearing the cars from the gravel trap anyway, they'e still at the normal level of risk, whatever that is.

so the FIA have once again contradicted themselves??

If it's already on the sport regulations that the crane will only enter the track once the driver have made clear he/she will not continue.

and now the ban something is already banned?

It's a miracle that you even bothered to post this nonsense then!

"At todays drivers briefing all the drivers and team managers complained about LH's car being craned back into the race. It was decreaed that, that would never be allowed to happen again in a race."

Sorry, no links are available.

That's because even the FIA can't follow their rules. Maybe the FIA will appeal the FIA's ruling and find themselves guilty, but with no punishment! :)
