Ferrari Formula ๊1 chief Mattia Binotto says the team’s fuel load was checked “at least 10 times” through the 2019 season prior to its fine from the FIA in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ferrari was hit with a €50,000 fin♓e after it was found to have added 4.88 kg more fuel than it reported to the FIA, becoming the first team to fall fo༺ul of new pre-race checks introduced this season.

Teams are required to inform the FIA how much fuel each car will be starting the race with two hours before lights out, with random checks the🥀n taking place to vꦐerify these figures.

Ferrari has faced scrutiny for its fuel flow meter in recent races amid allℱegations it had been running outside of t💦he rules to gain more engine power, which emerged after the United States Grand Prix last �🎐�month.

Speakiꦿng prior to the stewards’ ruling and issuing of the fine in Abu Dhabi, Ferrari F1 boss Binotto explained how the system worked, adding that🦋 it was not the first time the team had been selected to complete the FIA’s check.

“You have a quantity of fuel to be consumed in the race – 110kg – which you h𝔉ave got direct measurements through the fuel flow meter or through the injectors, or eventually through the weighing of the car,” Binotto explained.

“You weigh it at the start of the race and you weigh it at the end, you do the delta, and you will know how much you have consumed. To do that, you declare a certain quantity of fuel at the start ꧒of the race,♚ that you are filling in the car.

“The FIA may sometimes chec♚k what has been declared by simply weighing the car and somehow try to verify if you have concurrence. It’s a procedure which is not the first time we are doing it.

“This year we have been checked at least 1🅰0 times. It’s not the first time.

“Today, we have a discrepancy,🏅 one which we don’t know the entity💮, and we’re simply waiting for details.”

, only for the stewards 🐼to issue the fine for the breach♕.
