Monaco GP: New PIT-Stop Rules analyzed by Martin Brundle after winning Lando Norris in Street Circuit | F1 news

Lando Norris and his world championship opportunity have passed eight days.

He is extremely pressure from Charles Leclerc, Oscar Piatri, Lewis Hamilton, and Max Vestapen, and is a great overpass in Monaco and a sensational pillar of Monaco in Monaco I doubted the devil and the F1 ranch. Despite many chaos and challenges, he followed this with a major flawless driving to win the victory around the street.

The race has only three points between PiaStri, his Mclaren team’s colleague, when he completes the first -third of the season. Piastri had a slightly rough weekend and described the major connection with the barrier of STET devote and actually hit more barriers on a weekend than the overall career.

But young Australia still had another podium, and if you got a rainy corner in Melbourne’s backyard, you would have been trophy in every race this season. And his aggregate is moved to the 34 -week weekend point.

Charles Leclerc came on weekends and warned that others didn’t bet on me because he was convinced that his current car was not good at the slow corner. In fact, he led all the practice sessions, but he missed the pole, which would often be limited to the second place in the race, as with Monaco’s story.

Like last year, VestAppen’s Red Bull struggled relatively the boundaries between the curb and the principal, but he still driven out the wheels as usual.

He took fourth place because Lewis Hamilton blocked unintentional qualifications after receiving the wrong information from the engineer, and painfully brought the third place grid drop to seventh. Lewis ranked fifth place in the race and frustrated and lonely.

‘I was surprised by the omission of the pit staff rules’

For decades, we knew that in Monaco, a Saturday qualified command determined the results of the race unless there was a non -boss and/timely safety vehicle and a timely flag. It was 33 years ago in 1992, and Nigel Mansell could not pass through Ayrton Senna despite his much superior tires.

Remember the challenge as I ranked fifth in the race. In 1989, I also remembered that I passed a lot of cars in Brabham, but I had a big tire advantage that I had to penetrate the pit for two minutes for a new battery under the seat, and I passed the car because it passed through the car because it was entirely up to the wind and everyone went back to sixth and attacked everyone. But at that time, people could pass if they missed the gear shift. It can’t happen today.

Therefore, do not pretend that Monaco’s racing problem is limited to digital, not from the current generation of two meters wide and analog. Perhaps 60 years ago, Spindly Cars could overtake, but for decades of race results were dominated by poor reliable reliability and less sophisticated cars.

Last year, Monaco had a red flag for a heavy accident. All surviving drivers changed the tires in the pit, complying with regulations that use two different rubber compounds without track time loss, and then slowly proceeded to the end without stopping the additional pit. The top ten of the grids have been completed in the correct order.

I decided to do something to decorate the race, and the solution selected through a significant consultation between the team, the FIA ​​and F1 was to have a specific regulation in Monaco, and thus mandated two pits to use three different dry tire sets. Even if it rains, the two pit stops.

I will not criticize what I tried with good faith to improve the show. But I was a little surprised that one of the stops was not mandatory that one of the stops, or perhaps earlier, was not mandatory. Some teams behind the field from the beginning cannot lose their stops relatively early, and the team on the front of the field will stop the second stop late to make the opportunity window more wider in relation to safety vehicles and red flags.

‘The slow speed of F1’

It was also clear that it was immediately clear that a team could use a car as a sacrificial lamb that drove slowly to help another car to stop one car to stop the pit.

And despite the fact that Gyeongju Bull and Williams were ready to slow one of the cars. But you can’t blame them -they have made two cars in the world championship points after they have achieved very solid qualifiers.

I realized that all the things we actually talked about in the race survived the first corner when Rando Noris locked his front brake, and then some drivers were going slowly and endless pit stop discussions.

Of course, it is very normal for the leader to go slowly and to back up all 19 cars in the early stages.

Instead, we have seen a selected car for 4 seconds with frustrated queues. Not pretty or impressive, but some are effective. But there is little meaning of F1.

Mercedes had a curious strategy with two vehicles due to the mechanical problems of reddish brown and George Russell in the second half of the field after the preliminary collision of Kimi Antonelli. In Gyeongju for a long time, they seemed to have a head in the sand for the pit, and Russell was especially interrupted by Russell, 78, 73, 78, 78, 73, and 78, which were especially disturbed by Williams, and Russell lost patience and more than steamed in the middle of the maritime cicane. I made it clear. Road block.

Unfortunately, he was driving through a 20 second penalty, and the FIA ​​said:

“Expecting this situation in this Monaco Grand Prix, all teams were notified before competition by the race director (according to the request for stewards). Stewards have gained information that stewards will be deliberately leaving 10 times to overtake 10 cars. I thought it was guaranteed to drive, and we imposed it.

Despite the penalty, he was still in 11th place and that was that.

2 Seeing the results after over -advertising and discussion preliminary lace on stop rules, it has rarely changed. Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari in the grid passed the impressive racing bulls of ISACK HADJAR at the Pete Stop stage. Sadly, Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso retired from car failure. Anyway, those two things would have happened.

With the 6th and 8th Racing Bulls Hadjar and Liam Lawson, with the 9th and 10th Williams Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz, another impressive performance was Esteban Ocon, who took seventh in Haas without the help of the Team Mate Load block.

‘The experiment did not work’

The second floor experiment did not work. We should simply manage expectations for race Day and do our best to alleviate some overtaking if possible, and recognize that Monaco qualifications are not one of the most special time of the F1 or sports season or not an option.

In fact, the track layout indicates this problem and cannot use the available space for creating a long straight or wide stomach zone. Nevertheless, the very wide track still has a racing line with rubber. My son Alex was able to keep his new location and go down the road when he proposed an interesting tongue on his cheek and a joker card that allows each driver to play through Chicane’s No-Man’s Land. This also persuades all drivers to simply wrap too slowly.

Without doubt, what you change in Formula 1 will have unintended consequences, which is the essence of the beast.

Mclaren, Ferrari and one Red Bull, on the other hand, have gained strength with Serena to run their own races through all chaos. Lewis Hamilton was the last runner who could not run for 51 seconds behind Norris.

Norris, who had been hanging on the 50 -rap tires on the red hope of the rap flag, stepped back to the leader VestAppen, and Mclaren had a tense stage.

During that time, Leclerc Ferrari was behind Norris, but he finally left the nerve and the last rap, and finally released the fastest rap of the race to emphasize the rediscovered confidence.

This is a completely different challenge for Spanish GP, team, car and drivers this weekend.
