F1 drive꧑rs were told ahead of qualifying at the Italian Grand Prix that they would have to maintain a maximum delta time for all of their laps to preve🐈nt potentially dangerous slow-lap queuing. 

The rule was not used during last weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, wꦑhere bunching up was an issue at the end of Q1 in the final sector of the lap at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. 

Several drivers including 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen were investigated for alleged impeding during the session but no penalties were issued, prompting 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris to call on F1 to take a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:tougher stance on impeding. 

Ahead of this weekend’s race at Suzuka, Wittich wrote in his event notes: “For the safe and orderly conduct of the event, other than in exceptional circumstances accepted as such by the stewards, any driver that exceeds the maximum time from the second Safety Car line to the first Safety Car line on ANY lap during and after the end of the qualifying session, including in-laps and out-laps, may bꦰe deemed to be going unnecessarily slowly.” 

Ferrari pair 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Carlos Sainz were investigated for alleged rule breaches in qu🍸ꦯalifying at Monza but both escaped penalties. 

The FIA clarified that drivers “may” avoid sanctions in “exceptional circumstances” should they be able to present an acceptable explanat🅘ion for their actions.
