Comeone guys! No offence, i mean i know its not easy, but the failure to complete pitstops efficiently this weekend completely screwed up Ingalls weekend. Without the 'incidents' in pit lane, Ingall could have easily finished inside the top 10, even top 5 in all the races. Definately something to work on. |

admittedly I didn't see todays racing - but it looks like it was the penalties that really hurt - check our Russell's comment: "[The pit lane penalties have] absolutely destroyed our weekend. What potentially could have been an excellent result was thrown out the window by wrong calls of speeding in pit lane, the telemetry saying otherwise and proving how badly we've been done by." seems like some real trivial matters getting in the way of some great racing once again  |

I don`t know anything about the air jacks not working in the first race , ( did they cover that on the telecast ? ) , but it`s time that someone introduced an appeal system ,that allowed a team to provide evidence ( telemetry downloads ) to support their innocence in matters such as the above . I have no idea how to overcome a wrong or bad call by the officials ,such as the one claimed above by VY Accaim , that can wreck someones whole weekend . |

michaelvt 2 months ago | Agree completely, a better form of appeal system is needed. Although it would be hard to change the penalties have been given. I think that no penalties should be handed out during the race and should be investigated thoroughly (including talks with all those involved, evidence etc brought forward) and THEN if a penalty is due, give out a time penalty (equal to that of a drive through). A system like this would have saved Russell from an absolutely shocking weekend (apart from race 1 of course). |
