    Seat Belt Regs

    I'm fairly sure that Vettel had undone his belts during the slowing down lap yesterday. Now given Loeb's penalty in the WRC I was wondering if F1 had similar rules stopping you from releasing the harness until the car has stopped?
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    All I can find in the regs is

    14.4 Safety belts :
    It is mandatory to wear two shoulder straps, one abdominal strap and two straps between the legs. These
    straps must be securely fixed to the car and must comply with FIA standard 8853/98.

    you guys thinking about seat belts and regs.

    See this. I think from old hockenheim in 1997 . fisi sat like this for more than half way around the lap.

    Fisi complied with the regs in 1997. He had both hands securely on the intake box

    Damn straight knockie, damn straight. F1 cars have become uglier as more bits were stuck onto them by over-enthusiastic aero departments

    Is that as close as Fisi has come to his dream of driving for Ferrari F1?
    Forza Ferrari!
