FIA explain key decisions during Qatar Grand Prix
The FIA have shared details of the reasoning behind some of the key decisions made during the Qatar Grand Prix, an eventful race that saw numerous penalties handed out – including a 10-second stop/go for Lando Norris – as well as three Safety Car deployments.
Following the event, further information has been given regarding three incidents in particular.
Why was the Safety Car not deployed when there was a wing mirror on the track?
It was spotted on Lap 30 of 57 that a wing mirror had fallen onto the track on the main straight, with replays later showing that it had come from the Williams of Alex Albon. A few laps later, Valtteri Bottas ran over the wing mirror, resulting in debris scattering around the area.
Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton then both picked up punctures, forcing them to limp back to the pits. The Safety Car was subsequently deployed while the debris on the main straight was cleared.
