Bouncy Tyres And Pit Fender Benders

Recommended Posts

It's their own damn fault.

That's right. Their. Own. Damn. Fault.

What is? Pitstop fender benders, near misses and wheels that are not attached.

What is the need to have 24 people surround a car to change four wheels and wipe the drivers visor?

No other series employs so many people to do so little.

If it wasn't for 12 guys blocking the view of the lollipop man, then unsafe releases (such as Kubi's) would not occur.

Of course preventing the non fixture of a wheel may or may not be solved by reducing the amount of crew, it would reduce the quantities of targets further down the pitlane for the bouncing tyre.

If IRL can manage refuelling, and tyre changes with only 4 people over the pitwall, why can't F1 do something the same?

With less people in the lane another benefit might be that each team has TWO pit boxes, and queuing may not be needed, and thus screw over a drivers race.

The argument of a 3-second pitstop is moot, as ALL teams are on a level playing field, and the pitstop simply becomes a 10 or 12 second thing, with skill, speed and fitness required from the pit crew.

So yeah. It's their own damn fault that they're having all these Keystone Cop pitstops.

I disagree. Even if you had less people in the pit lane, that was just an error of judgement by the Renault lollipop man. I believe he thought the Force India had stopped already and therefore wasn't going into the box, that's wwhy he released. No matter how few or many people you have in the pit lane, errors of judgement can occur in heat of battle.

As for the bouncing wheel, well, David Coulthard proposed an interesting idea on the BBC coverage. He said that basically, in DTM (in which he races currently) unless all the wheel nuts are on, there is a system that means the car physically cannot leave the box. Maybe Formula One should try something like that.

The only other alternative could be to have no pitstops at all, but I don't think that'd go down very well, because it'd then make the racing even more "predictable" like this year with no refueling. It's so predictable, there's already substantially more overtakes this year than by this time last season...

Though Liu Bei was outnumbered by Cao Cao's troops in the Xinye battle, Liu defeated Cao thanks to the smart tactic he had resorted to. Cao soon commanded an army of 500,000 to take his revenge. When Liu Bei and his force of 3,000 got to Dangyang County, they were stopped by Cao's troops. A bitter fight lasted until dawn and the Liu army narrowly managed to eLüde the chasing enemy.

With the help of a middle-aged woman, Zhao Yun found Madam Mi and A Dou by the side of a dry well behind a collapsed wall. Madam Mi said: “A Dou is safe now with you, General. I'd rather die than encumber you.” When Zhao Yun was not looking her way, Madam Mi threw herself into the well. Suddenly, Cao troops came charging toward Zhao Yun. With tears in his eyes, Zhao Yun pushed down what remained of the collapsed wall to cover the dry well.
