Race directors: Force India protests Race directors: Force India protestsComments Off

Because even Nico Hulkenberg has shortened a chicane was not punished for it, sets a Force India Adrian Sutil for protest
As expected, Force India Adrian Sutil, with respect to subsequent time penalty at the Grand Prix of Singapore officially announced to want to protest. The German had been full in the first round a chicane and was therefore punished with a retrospective time penalty of 20 seconds, threw it back from eighth to tenth place.

But because the racing line 60 laps had time to investigate the incident and to express even a penalty during the race, the Sutil could react strategically, Force India will not justify the verdict. It is doubtful whether any actual protest is successful.
Force India also calls for an investigation of an incident by Nico Hulkenberg. The Williams driver will have during the race, also abbreviated as a chicane, but conceded it no penalty. Sutil and his team feel this inconstancy unfair.

When a final decision will be made in the Cause is not yet certain.

Ferrari wants a rule change in the wake of Fernando Alonso’s drive-through penalty imposed during the recent British grand prix.

The Italian team criticised the time it took for race director Charlie Whiting to answer a query about whether Alonso, who cut a corner, should hand back the position to Robert Kubica.

Ferrari claims it took the FIA almost two minutes to respond, by which time giving the place back to Kubica would have been complicated.

“We will discuss an amendment to the regulations: if the race directors are not involved within 3-4 corners afterwards, the manoeuvre is considered to be correct,” team boss Stefano Domenicali said in an interview with La Stampa.

Following Ferrari’s furious criticism of the safety car rules after the preceding Valencia race, the regulations were tweaked at Silverstone.

When mischievously asked whether the rules need changing after every race, Domenicali smiled: “It’s a very complex sport.”
