The Race Directorate has provided its interpretation of the scary accident which greatly influenced today’s Tuscan GP, knocking out five cars in one go on the first restart behind the safety car of the day. Many in post-race interviews complained about the alleged acceleration and braking actions of those driving the restart behind the safety car. The leader of the race at that time was Valtteri Bottas, who chose to give a strong acceleration to restart only a few meters before the finish line. However, behind him, the entire world exploded.
However, the Finnish Mercedes driver explicitly ‘absolved’ of any liability. In fact, in the document released by the FIA it can be read that “The driver of car 77 (Valtteri Bottas) and the other drivers involved in the restart and not mentioned above respected the regulations. Car # 77 had the right, according to the regulations, to set the pace “. On the other hand, the race jury pointed to 12 drivers: Magnussen, Kvyat, Latifi, Albon, Stroll, Ricciardo, Perez, Norris, Ocon, Russell, Giovinazzi and Sainz for the complete list. Her responsibility, punished with a. collective reprimand, was that of “Inconsistent application of the accelerator and brake, from the last corner along the pit straight”. The reprimand occurred precisely because it was not recognized that any driver was at fault.
