• Accident in qualifying

    From Geoff May@24:150/2 to rec.autos.sport.f1 on Sat May 28 18:55:38 2022
    I thought there was a rule that sort of said that if you had an accident
    that caused a red flag, and other drives on the track could no longer
    improve, then you would get a penalty of some sort.

    Was I dreaming that or is it real?

    And, talking about penalties, I see Sainz said he couldn't avoid Perez
    but I think he (Sainz) is looking for trouble unless there was a delay
    in showing the flags.

    Cheers

    I don't see anything about that in the Sporting Regs.

    No mention of a summons among the official documents.

    Between turns 7 (apparently unnamed) and 8 (Portier) there is one FIA
    Marshal Light on the left, just at the kink before Portier proper, and
    three marshal posts: left near turn 7, left between the kink and
    Portier, and right inside Portier.

    COBOL could be here forever. Thus, Y2K+N problems are
    likely to recur for all nonnegative integer values of N.

    Thank you.

    A little more detail at Pitpass:
    "While it was initially felt that Sainz might have ignored warnings of
    the Perez incident, and therefore liable to a penalty, the Spaniard had
    indeed hit the brakes but was unable to stop in time and the incident
    wasn't even noted by the stewards".
