Having in mind that Vettel did not set a time, there is no need to weight the car. Maybe this would be a nice update on the rules. They should raffle who would be weighted after setting a lap time, not when comming into or out of the pits, as the driver/car comming may have no time set, as Vettel did.

Even if that was the case some drivers would try to subvert the rules by doing what could be considered a ‘cheeky’ flying lap and hoping not to get called for a weighing. As it is random, some would get away with it. A better idea may be to weigh all cars prior to Q1. After they exit the pits they are subject to parc ferme regs. To ensure that no-on tries to bend the rules, each garage could have a steward watching the car at all times. Sure the costs will increase slightly but that is a small price to pay compared to the punishments for breaking the rules.

asbood112 That’s a little contradictory. Like you said, cars are under parc fermé rules after they leave their garage for the first time in Q1. So weighing them before the session starts defeats the purpose of stewarding, as teams could still make changes to the car between being weighed and the start of the session (be that an hour or 15 mins gap). As Chain Bear said, the risk of the weighbridge is enough for teams to judge whether or not to a) change strategy and b) run an underweight car. If we wanted to weigh every single car during Qualifying with ease, we’d have to go back to hour long single session Qualifying, and no one wants that. And having a steward for every single garage sounds like a good idea, but that’s 20 stewards over 20 garages, rather than the stewards bunched together on the weighbridge. It sounds good on paper, but having to move 20 “portable” weighbridges wouldn’t make sense because it would occupy much needed space in a relatively narrow garage already. The system right now is the best system we have to keep it fair. Everyone has the same chance of being called in, and if Ferrari wanted to avoid that scenario, they should have sent their cars out on Soft tyres in the first place.

Nice explanation. Thanks for sharing.

Spot on video as always. F1 isn't the easiest sport to understand. The rules are broad and complex, especially the technical aspects, which means many fans don't understand fully understand some incidents. This leads to frequent accusations of bias or inconsistency - which isn't to say that the FIA is immune to these, just not as much as some people think. This puts more onus on commentators to accurately communicate these rules and their interpretation, which often varies. What I'm basically trying to say is, for being a reliable and effective communicator, thanks Chain Bear.

He didn't get a penalty because he didn't impede a flying lap if you are on about the Williams incident. Both cars were on an out lap, Hamilton saw a car approaching fast and assumed it was someone on a flying lap he hadn't been told about, and tried to get off the racing line. Unfortunately, the exact moment he did that the Williams went the same way. Had it been a flying lap, he would have got a penalty for it.

@@dariogaeta94, that one is a little less clear cut. My personal opinion is that he was sloppy with getting out of the way but he did not cause a hindrance. So no penalty. He moved off the racing line, granted a little later than ideal, and right up against the put exit line. He left more than enough space on the right hand side for Raikkonen to get through. Raikkonen moved left just after him and went the long way round. Don't know why, but Kimi has a history of trying to grab every bit of a tow he can. How do we know Kimi wasn't hindered and why his move behind Lewis may have been intentional? His DRS remained open and he kept his foot in the throttle. If the car in front is genuinely in the way, you'd expect him to lift off or touch the brakes, but there was no sign of that. So yes, Lewis wasn't as switched on perhaps as you'd expect, but did he block Kimi's flying lap? Well evidence suggests Kimi was not impeded and his driving was intentional. I would guess that is the conclusion the Stewards came too as well, and Kimi has also said he wasn't blocked by Lewis, so, yeah, there's that too.

In case anyone wondered, the system consists of a sensor in the entry to pit lane connected to a computer running an algorithm with a $RAND function in it. It doesn’t know which car it is or which lap it’s on and *because* of that relative _simplicity,_ it’s an effective countermeasure to teams trying to cheat the system. Adding the ability for it to know which car it is and which lap it’s on would not only add massive complexity to something that already works, but require someone to then program some kind of *_”weight”_* towards who should be called in and at what times (as in being more likely to pip someone who’s set a lap vs. someone who has yet to do so), which defeats the purpose of it as a deterrent since anyone can be called at anytime...

Absolute bollocks. The timing box must be able to identify the car and you know if it's on an outlap or not by whether or not it's crossed the line at least once.

Wish you would have brought up DRic's idea and if you thought it would be good.

man rally racing has sure changed

Decreasing the weight of the cars would actually make them way safer in crashes right? I really don´t get why f1 cars need to weigh that much. Decelerating a heavier car is much trickier than decelerating lighter ones, so crash barriers wouldn´t need to be that thick, making different racing tracks possible. At least that´s what I thing and of couse I´m not an expert by any means. Wouldn´t it also make overtaking much easier, since acceleration would increase? I think racing in lighter F1 cars could solve some problems, and make f1 more interesting to watch. But what are the downsides of lowering the weight limit? Please tell me, I would love to know some of your guys thoughts!

Applause!!!

yes he broke the rules, but what was not mentioned here was that the FIA guy in front of the car made a motion that suggested he could drive forward, even if that is not how it normally happens, i think this was brought into consideration when the stewards made their decision and gave him some reprieve

As much as yes, maybe the weighbridge procedure maybe could be updated... The fact remains that Vettel not only broke the procedure (and the scales), he attempted to hurry the stewards and seemingly tried to force one to act faster by moving the car whilst a steward *was still standing in front of it and had been repeatedly signalled for engine shutoff* . That's just dangerous behaviour and in that context the fine he recieved looks a bit lenient if anything.

The minimum weight is still the minimum weight. At no point can your car with driver weigh less, so you have to make sure the car is heavy enough with an empty tank

Fun fact: the FIA is NOT allowed to inspect a car during qualifying when it has not yet set a time.

Rules should be equal to everybody. In 2019 and earlier even now 2021 there are some drivers who are treated differently ( better). And avoid penalties from their actions. It was in the past and is still existing. Sorry for any misatkes. Eng is not my first language

in the bad old days the rally teams would get a lighter car to the minimum weight by filling the fire extinguisher or rollbar tubes made of exhaust tubing with lead shot..

What’s the point of the weight restriction? Do they want to keep the cars below a certain top speed for safety reasons?

Is there a reason they dont just embed piezo sensors in a select part of the pit lane to weigh? A lot harder to break

At least he didn't come up light.

The title is funny

I don’t think the system works in the 3-part qualifying. It was a different story when you had a one-hour session, or weighing every car after their lap in single-lap qualifying. There have been complaints about this procedure ever since 3-part quali began in 2006, so with over 12 years of moaning, something needs to change, surely?

Codemasters please put this in your games.

I know according to the bloody rules that what Vettel did was ‘wrong.’ But, it’s somewhat satisfying that he did.
