FIA to hand out ten-place grid penalties for loose wheels

F1 teams will get a ten-place grid🌳 penalty from now on if a car is released from a pit stop with a loose wheel.
The new measures have been brought in af♕ter Formula One Management (FOM) cameraman Paul Allen was hit by a wheel that came off the Red Bull of Mark Webber in the German Grand Prix earlier this month. Allen was bowled over by the wheel and suffered a🦹 broken collarbone and broken ribs.
The punishment for failing to secure all four wheels properly will apply to all sessions - not just the 👍race - and it is believed it will come into force in Hungary this weekend, although the FIA, motorsports governing body, has still to officially confirm the decision.
Previously teams had just🦩 been fined for failing to secure all four wheels properly, with the incident at the Nurburgring, for example, resulting in Red Bull getting slapped with a EUR30,000 ♚penalty.
There were also suggestions of a imposing a minimum pit time, however, that idea ♊was unanimously rejected.
"I think there still needs to be a competition in the pit lane," Mark Webber told BBC Sport. "Motorsport is dangerous. We know that.
"In GP2 thඣey have not many guys on each corner [of the car]. Maybe there are ways to keep the competition but have less technology. I'm sure they'll find a way so there is still competition but ma🐠ybe make it a bit safer."
"I don't think the problem came because of the speed. The problem came because somebody couldn't💧 fix the tyres on the car," added Felipe Massa.
"That's definitely dangerous."
Meanwhile, the FIA has announced further plans that will 'greatly reduce' media access to the pitlane in a bid to improve safety [168澳洲5最新开奖结果:see separate story].
