The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix F1 stewards have explained why 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris escaped punishment for jumping the start.

Onboard footage from Norris’ car clearly showed the Briton jolting forward in his grid spot, and quickly stopping again, before the lights went o⭕ut to 🅺signal the start of the race.

The incident was immediately reported over team radio by Mercedes driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell,🦋 who started✤ alongside his fellow countryman in seventh.

It was investigated by the stewards, who ultimately cleared Norris because the FIA’s standardised data trans𝓰ponder had🐲 not been set off.

"The stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and determined that the video appeared to show that car 4 moved before ♛the start signal was given," the stewards said.

"However, the FIA approvꦑed and supplied transponder fitted on the car did not indicate a jum♓p start.

"Article 48.1 🔯a) of the Formula One Sporting Regulations states clearly that the judgment of whether or not there was a jump start is to be made in accordance with the transponder, which did not show a jump start. In the circumstances, we took no further action.”

Norris admitted he “didn’t know wha🦩t happened” because it “happened so quickly”.

"I just went a little bit and then tried stopping again, and then went again. But overall, I lost. I didn't gain anything from it,” hಌe told Sky.

Sky F1 pundit Anthony Davidson analysed the incident after the race and revealed that McLaren woul🧸d have successfully overturned any penalty via appeal had punishment bee🃏n handed out.

“There will probably be lots of questions regarding this potential jump start from Lando Norris. It was something that we all saw and something that he definꦐitely felt,” Davidson explained.

“The lights are on,🔜 the car clearly moves, he stops and then he gets going again. So why didn’t he get a penalty?

“Well, on the circuit, on each grid box there is a sensor. Now it appears that the sensor wasn’ꦺt working. It didn’t detect the car moving. It’🐬s an automated system and it didn’t detect that the car had moved.

“So, the stewards, although they can see that it is a potential jump start, or was a jump startꦦ, the human eye can detect it, the sensor didn’t actually pick it up. So that’s the first bit of luck.

“Second, th🉐ere’s a bit of a loophole in the regulation. If they were given a penalty, it turns out that if the team appealed it, they would win the appeal because the sensor can’t detect the car moving.

“So that’s why, Laꦫndo Norris, we believe didn’t get a penalty for this actual jump start. Computer said no.”

It is n꧋ot the f꧃irst time a driver has been let off for a jump start.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas escaped a penalty for a jump start at the 2020 Hungarian Grand Prix, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel was also cleared in Japan a year earlier.
