It can be broken legally but there will be much frowning in the paddock The sporting regs are pretty open to the steward's interpretation. I think the part that covers this is: INCIDENTS: Section (52) Incident means any occurence or series of occurences involving one or more drivers, or any action by any driver, which is reported to the stewards by the race director (or noted by the stewards and referred to the race director for investigation) which: (I'll snip the parts not needed for this...) --forced a driver off the track; --illegitimately prevented a legitimate overtaking manoeuvre by a driver; --illegitimately impeded another driver during overtaking. Now, this means that going off-line to prevent a legitimate overtaking manoeuvre is illegal; the 'gentlemen's agreement' is that you get one freebie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavallino 2 Report post Posted September 3, 2006 Yeah the stewards pretty much have carte blanche over this, all you can ask for is consistency, it's alwys going to be discretionary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
