Bizarre footage of a botched pit stop at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix has been explained.

Alpine’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon came 🐬into the pits - but had just a single mechanic seemingly ready for his arrival.

Ocon drove off🥀, as a result, wasting precious time and needing to pit aꦗgain later.

“Ocon was a miscommunication in the pits between the engineers and the mechanics,” Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz expla🃏ined.

“So whe๊n Ocon came in to the garage, the mechanics 🍎had not been told, and were not out in the pit.

“Ocon was like ‘woah I’ve come in here, ✃where is my pit crew? Bit odd…’

“So he went through and wasted 11 seconds of race time, then had to come by and pi🅷t again when the pit crew were told that ‘Ocon is coming in’.

“He had to pit for soft tyres at the end, on Lap 46, because his tyres were gone. A ne📖w set of softs were the only tyres he had left.”

Ocon could only finish 17th at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, having qualified🍌 in 11th.

On a dreadfuꦓl day for Alpine, O𝓀con’s teammate Pierre Gasly lined up third on the starting grid but failed to finish.

“Gasly was a DNF because some cylinde🔜rs started to go off, then the engine pretty much blew,” Kravitz explained.

Alpine have lost crucial groundඣ in the constructors’ ch🉐ampionship after their bad day at the office.

Haas haveไ overtaken them into sixth place in the standings after Nico Hulkenberg finished within the points.

Each spot in the constructors’ championship is worth approximately $10 million - meaning Alpine’s fꦬorgettable Las Vegas Grand Prix could hit them in the pocket.

They h෴ave two rounds r🦄emaining this season to claw back a place, and the money as a result.
