How much are the exits talking about? in this current Formula 1 season. Not because of the spectacle, or the chaos, that is formed in them, but rather because of the position of the pilots in the box. In your ‘parking’ space. In its starting place. Yes because in Australia it has happened again.
The same thing has happened, or something similar, since there is no sanction for the alleged offender. After the penalties to Esteban Ocon in Bahrain already Fernando Alonso in Saudi Arabianow it has been Max Verstappen who could have taken his 5 seconds.
With the yellow lines in place, Verstappen was more than on the limit. It was in the last relaunched, where everything was messed up to the maximum, when the Red Bull Dutchman, later winner of the test, played it.
He put the car in right, and then released the brake a bit to get the RB19 moving forward a bit. “I lost the reference. But I saw that I had more space in front so I moved on a bit,” he says.
“I was at the limit. But the limit is the limit. With the sun it was difficult”, explains Verstappen.
The truth is that the front wing is crossing the white line, when the normal thing is that this does not happen. When the wheels are even with the yellow stripe. This time it was not.
The FIA has not carried out any investigation, and not even Mercedes, always picky in these cases, raised its voice to see if it could scratch a victory for Lewis Hamilton like this. The English finished second, with Alonso completing the podium.
