168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg has been hit with a three-place grid penalty for overtaking two cars in the pit exit road during F1 qualifying at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Hulkenberg starred in qualifying, securing fourth at th☂e Yas Marina Circuit.

However, he will now start Sunꦡday’s race from seventh on the grid.

Why has Hulkenberg been penalised?

The stewards noted: “The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 27 (Nico Hulkenberg), team representative and reviewed marshalling system data,ꦫ video, timing and in-car viꦓdeo evidence.

“The driver did not dispute during the hearing that he did not follow the Race Director’s instructions, 🅘but stated that he had no other option but to breach the rules in order to get a lap in.

“Whilst the Stewards acknowledge that the position of the team’s garages limits their options to send the cars out on track, this can never be 🌱use꧋d as an excuse to breach any regulations.

“The prohibition of overtaking in certain areas as the pit lane or, in this case, the pit exit, is implemented to prღevent potentially dangerous situations and therefore the Stewarಞds determine that a grid drop is warranted in this case.”

What did Hulkenberg say?

Despite showing great pace throughout Friday practice, Hulkenberg didn𝔉’t e൩xpect Haas’ performance to be so strong.

He told Sky Sports: “I had a good feeling from FP1 yesterday and I had a sort of good idea that a top ten was definitel♍y possible this weekend. But that good? No – I did not expect,” Hulkenberg told Sky.

“So many of🏅 the top dogs are struggling a little bit. ꧙But the car’s been good. We’ve been good on the execution side, so a very good quali for us.”
