During the Chinese Grand Prix 2024 which took place from April 19 to 21, the Alpine F1 Team was penalized by the stewards for an incident that occurred during a pit stop involving the driver Pierre Gasly. The incident in question took place at 3:22 PM during the race and was classified as a dangerous incident during a pit stop of the Normandy driver.<\/p>\n
Indeed, the rear right tire was reluctant during the tire rotation and was then not properly secured on the Alpine. However, the green light was given to Gasly to leave his pit stop. The driver realized there was an issue and immediately stopped, with the light turning red again, thus avoiding any potential accident on the track. After reviewing the facts, the stewards concluded that the driver was not responsible for the incident.<\/b><\/p>\n
The stewards heard the driver of car 10 (Pierre Gasly), the team representative, and examined the positioning\/marking systems data, videos, timing data, team radio communications, onboard videos, and determined that the driver of car 10 had been given the green light to leave his pit stop position, explains the FIA.<\/p>\n
\u00ab However, the rear right tire had not been properly secured. The electronic systems monitoring whether a tire was properly mounted did not detect the problem. Additionally, a team member accidentally pressed the car release button while the tire was not properly secured. As soon as the team realized the issue, they stopped the car and prevented it from leaving the pit lane. Furthermore, a team member fell backward and suffered minor injuries. This team member was able to continue their duties for the remainder of the race. \u00bb<\/p>\n
