Umbrella organization FIA wishes in the future in Parabolics, the last fast bend of the track in Monza, electronically check compliance track restrictions. He announced that Michael Massi, director of the race FIA, after the last race for GP of Italy a heated debate over a number of infringements. It could be installed in an asphalt surface induction beltsthat would be accurate checked the racers in choosing your line through this bend. That method electronic control white lines are already used in Belgium namely in the bend Raidillon after the famous Eau Rouge. This is v They connect led to the racers paying much more attention to it white line, as a result of which no infringement was found.
The debate on track restriction also existed in Monza, it is Masi teams and racers already on Friday warned that the violation of the restrictions in Parabolics will not go unpunished. Masi it betrays that one rider was stripped of the two best lap times because he wanted to gain an advantage at that spot. However, all cases were analyzed only on the basis of videos, as there was not enough time to install these induction belts. Many racers stayed in training no times achieved round, and is in the qualifiers Sebastian Vettel for hair - literally - escaped punishment. On onboard shots it was not possible to tell clearly whether his wheels were still touching the white line.
But in the future Michael Massi in such controversial decisions, it no longer intends to rely solely on video material. He announced that in the future you could induction belts also installed in bends such as Parabolic. This, however, needs to be planned much earlier, as the equipment for the racing weekend needs to be prepared and tested. “I think we will take a closer look at this. The last racing weekend in Italy was one of those cases we need to talk about for next year. If we make changes, we will see this with our safety department and with the track inspector, in addition we will also do various simulations and also talk to the people in charge of the track."
Masi adds that it belongs Parabolic, a long and fast right turn in front of the finish line of the track in Monza, among the primary areas where they are supposed to be induction belts meaningful and useful. “Then everything will happen automatically. However, we need to plan this a few weeks in advance so that we can install these belts in a timely manner. I think this could be the right solution." FIA but he also wants to see other solutions for a problem around track restriction. “Because everything that happens automatically makes our lives much easier,”So Masi, who adds that it is an increase sandy excursion zones outdated method.
"We need to look at all the available options. Does this also mean that we will return to the sand excursion zones? Or maybe a double curb? But grass? These are all solutions available to us,”Explained the race director FIA and adds that the advantage of induction bands is clearly recognizable. “If someone takes too much of a risk in limiting the track, then it quickly appears on the monitor and there is no need for any analysis,”He concluded Australian.
