Chesterfield Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 How many incidents do we have to see where the Ferrari "green light" system rather than the standard lollipop causes dangerous exits and injured engineers before they get a desrving penalty? IMHO the system that Ferrari use should be banned outright, as we have yet another example of the driver being given the green light by this system and a dangerous exit. Not only did the hose get ripped off and take down a mechanic, but he was yet again released directly into the path of another car. My guess is that yet again as is always the case with the red cars, that it will be a financial penalty (tiny) yet again. This is an absolute joke.

Ekona Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Massa? Totally agree with you. Massa was not at fault at all, but the system caused fuel to be sprayed over the pit lane (granted, a limited amount due to the cut-off system), a mechanic to be injured and a car to be released almost directly into the line of another car in the pits. It's dangerous as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I've seen that happen with autogas hoses. 4 times when I worked at the filling station! It's funny as hell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Fully agree Chris, everyone was very lucky to get away with that again. It should be stopped now but I guess Ferrari may be getting disenchanted with it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hmm' date=' i think they should penalise Hamilton for this mistake, it must have been his fault in some way surely??[/Quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Ageed, yet another dangerous pit kalamity! Drive through penalty They got more for using the pit lane when it was closed! Surely dangerous behavior is worthy of a bigger penalty! He was last anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
