What is usual penalty for that? Grid place penalty?Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:25Piastri might be under investigation regarding the maximum outlap time after Q1 finished. Hopefully nothing happens and he keeps his place as it is a pity to lose his hard earned position from outside factors.
It's to keep it safe - drivers would go very slow in order to cool down their tyres more and having slow moving cars can be dangerous.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:30What is the point of that rule though? Is it to stop going too slow on the outlap time or is it after the Q ends?
Maximum outlap time would limit their speed, not speed them up?FittingMechanics wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:32It's to keep it safe - drivers would go very slow in order to cool down their tyres more and having slow moving cars can be dangerous.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:30What is the point of that rule though?

Sorry, I think it was minimum time.

Not sure if I understand the question, lol… a Maximum Lap Time would make sure they don’t go too slow, therefore speeding them upmwillems wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:33Maximum outlap time would limit their speed, not speed them up?FittingMechanics wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:32It's to keep it safe - drivers would go very slow in order to cool down their tyres more and having slow moving cars can be dangerous.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:30What is the point of that rule though?

Minimum outlap time. To stop them from going too slow as it would cause more issues when others are on fast laps.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:36Personally I never understood track limits or outlap maximum time just as I never understood why they stopped evolving engines, doing tests between GPs, never letting other tyre manufacturers enter and stopping refueling.
Was that on new softs or used softs?
Exactly. It was rhetorical and that was what was being pointed out.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:38Not sure if I understand the question, lol… a Maximum Lap Time would make sure they don’t go too slow, therefore speeding them upmwillems wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:33Maximum outlap time would limit their speed, not speed them up?FittingMechanics wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:32

Ah yes - maximum time - you have to be faster than that time meaning you can't go too slow.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:38Not sure if I understand the question, lol… a Maximum Lap Time would make sure they don’t go too slow, therefore speeding them upmwillems wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:33Maximum outlap time would limit their speed, not speed them up?FittingMechanics wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 19:32
