Ferrari take action over Austrian GP disqualification threat
According to a pundit from Sky Sports F1, Ferrari took measures at the Austrian Grand Prix this weekend to prevent disqualification.
Despite starting strong, Ferrari’s drivers faced challenges during the race at the Red Bull Ring, with Charles Leclerc securing another podium finish and Lewis Hamilton coming in fourth.
Sky F1 reporter Ted Kravitz noted that Ferrari seemed to be employing a technique known as “lifting and coasting” to protect their skid blocks throughout the race.
In the past, Ferrari has faced issues with skid block thickness, leading to disqualifications for Lewis Hamilton during the Chinese Grand Prix.
This weekend’s race in Austria also saw other drivers, such as Nikola Tsolov and Alex Dunne, facing disqualification for failing to meet plank thickness requirements.
These incidents highlight the importance of adhering to FIA regulations in Formula 1 races.
