2020 Russian GP - Sochi

[Nitrodaze]

How/where did you find historical data on drivers practice starts? I cant find anything at all..

From what I've read, It seems to differ from event to event and covered in the Race Directors pre event notes rather than by the sporting regulations. It's by the by though... According to Wolf no one has ever been given a race penalty for something that happened pre race, I dont doubt him. In which case It's pretty clear they are trying to impede him. What I. mightdisagree with you on is why





Dont you think they are maybe just trying to impede him because they dont want the championship to be over at this stage?
Lewis doesn't believe its personal or because of his BLM antics, as you put it. What makes you think that?

I have race recordings going back to 2010 on the hard drive of my skybox. I shall load them on here or on youtube when l figure out how to get them into my computer. I have watched the practise starts during Practise 1, 2 and 3. And on the way to the grid. You would be surprised how frequently this rule has been broken by drivers without as much as a warning.

The "so called" designated place for doing race start has been typically used as a place for the drivers to place their cars before the pit lane is open, if they intend to do a practise start after the track light goes green. The idea being to keep them out of the way of other cars not wanting to practise but wishing to head out to the track directly.

You would think Mika Salo would know that.
