With all due respect. I expect F1 teams choreograph their pit stops and practice them 'endlessly'. I also expect that a part of the choreography is when the fueler begins the actions of disengaging the fuel rig the lollypop guy give the 'go' sign. If the lollypop waits until the fuel rig is fully detached, a second or more is added to the pit stop. It is somewhat like line play in a football game, you go on the snap count with every 'step' of the play choreographed for the pulling guard to make his move and lead the ball carrier around the end. When the choreography works, the play works and no one takes any exceptions to the 'corners' that were cut expecting particular actions to occur. The same with this pit stop, only the expected action - fueler smoothly removing the fuel rig did not occur - when that happens everyone looks like the fool.

Certainly had the potential to be far worse than it was. Shows the foresight that Ferrari have shown in having the back side of the lollipop being a convex mirror so that the driver too can see what is going on behind him while stopped. Anyone notice if any of the other teams have a mirror on their lollipop too? _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! *** ----------------------------------------- This email transmission and any accompanying attachments may contain CSX privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the intended addressee.
