yes
no one would have been caught out by it last year,and wait till a big name gets left off a GP because they crash before Q1 a la Alonso.
rule states
that they can go on pratice times, so unlesa alonso
bins
in straight away as he leaves the pits for practice 1, and it isnt fixed by q1, hell still be allowed to race.
And tracks don't gain 3 or 4 seconds sometimes as they rubber in? The rule will inevitably catch a favorite out... I can't wait of the complaints then.
In the past, the stewards had some discretion and allowed drivers to race despite failing to meet the 107% rule. I'd imagine such discretion will be used on a case by case basis this coming season as well and will thus, accommodate your scenario.
I get it, as long as it's Virgin, HRT or Lotus, then the rule applies, for everyone else it's a guideline.
Pretty much. If a Virgin driver doesn't get to race, Bernie will simply shrug it off. If a McLaren or Ferrari driver gets caught out by the rule, Bernie loses a wing in one of his daughters' new home and some sleep as well
