The Mugello circuit was the scene of a splendid edition of the Ferrari 1000 Tuscan Grand Prix. The race was full of twists and turns, as well as the accident that occurred at the finish line, just after the first restart after returning to the pits. Auto insurance.
The fairly serious accident involved several cars, including Nicholas Latifi, Carlos Sainz Jr, Antonio Giovinazzi, and Kevin Magnussen. Valtteri Bottas, at the time in charge of the race, waited for the finish line before accelerating.
This created confusion in the latter part of the lineup, with Latifi accelerating early, creating confusion. The Williams driver veered to the left to avoid Kevin Magnussen, who had yet to accelerate as well as the drivers ahead of him, but Antonio Giovinazzi, who was just behind the Canadian, was unable to follow suit and ended up hitting Magnussen.
The same goes for Carlos Sainz Jr, who was right behind Giovinazzi, with Latifi still involved in the accident, overwhelmed by the Italian driver’s Alfa Romeo C39.
The race bosses were quick to say they would investigate the accident after the race, summoning several drivers for their actions under the Safety Car regime. After the race, the Race Direction decided to issue 12 warnings to the drivers.
The drivers who received these warnings are Magnussen, Kvyat, Latifi, Giovinazzi, Sainz, Albon, Srtoll, Ricciardo, Perez, Norris, Ocon and Russell.
“The stewards concluded that the main cause of this accident was the inconsistent application of the accelerator and the brake from the last corner to the pit straight by the aforementioned drivers,” the bulletin reads.
“The stewards understood the challenge because of the starting line and the drivers’ desire to take advantage of it, however the accident demonstrates the need for caution and exercise in the restart situation. Some drivers could have avoided being involved in the accident if not they had followed directly the cars in front. In this way they completely blocked the visibility of what was happening in front. “
“Therefore, a warning was imposed because it is the opinion of the stewards that no driver was entirely or predominantly at fault.”
Recall that the warning – a warning – is part of the penalties system of the sports commissioners appointed by the FIA, but it does not influence the super licenses of the drivers, unlike a reprimand.
