The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix F1 stewards have explained why 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris escaped punishment for jumping the start.

Onboard footage from Norris’ car ဣclearly showed the Briton jolting forward in his grid spot, and quickly stopping again, before the lights went out to signa꧑l the start of the race.

The incident was immediately reported over team radio by Mercedes driver 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell, who started alongside his fellow countryman🌞 in seven🌃th.

It was investigated by the stewards, who ultimately cleared Norris because the FIA’s standa🌳rdised data transponder had not been set off.

"The stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, videoꦇ and determined that the video appeared to show that car🎃 4 moved before the start signal was given," the stewards said.

"However, the FIA approved and supplied transponder fitted on the car did not ✤indicate a jump start.

"Article 48.1 a) of the Formula One Sporting Regulations states clearly that the judgment of whether or not there was a jump start is🌱 to be made in accordance with the transponder, which did not show a jump start. In the circumstances, we took no further action.”

Norris admitted he “didn’t know what happen🦩ed” because it “happened so💦 quickly”.

"I just went a little bit aಞnd then tried stopping again, and the෴n went again. But overall, I lost. I didn't gain anything from it,” he told Sky.

Sky F1 pundit Anthony Davidson analysed the incident after the race and revealed that McLaren would have successfully o🦹verturned any penalty via𝓡 appeal had punishment been handed out.

“There will probably be lots of questions regarding this potential jumpꦡ start from Lando Norr🏅is. It was something that we all saw and something that he definitely felt,” Davidson explained.

“The lights are on, the car clearly moves, he stops and then🙈 he gets going again. So why didn’t he get a penalty?

“Well, o🎃n the circuit, on each grid box there is a sensor. Now it appears that the sensor wasn’t working. It didn’t detect the car moving. It’s an automated system and it didn’t detect that the car had moved.

“🙈So, the stewards, although they can see that it is a potential jump start, or was a jump start, th♍e human eye can detect it, the sensor didn’t actually pick it up. So that’s the first bit of luck.

“Second, there’s a 🍒bit of a loophole in the regulation. If they were given a penalty, it turns out that if the team appealed it, they would win the appeal because the sensor can’t detect the 🌺car moving.

“So that’s why, Lando Norris, we believe didn’﷽t get a penalty for this actual jump start. Comp൩uter said no.”

It 🥂is not the first time a driver has been let off for a jump sta꧃rt.
