He went too fast under yellow flag.

"There's a rule in place and we have to abide by the rules, so I'll accept the penalty, but I'm not at all happy about it,"

"Mortara had his accident right in front of me so I had to slow down anyway, and what that meant was that the reference time the officials were looking at was slower than on a normal lap for that sector.

"So then you have to drive to a slower reference time than anybody else, constantly checking your dashboard to make sure you've gone slowly enough to avoid the penalty.

"The problem is that you can drive through there less than half a second slower than normal and still be safe. At that stage of the race you're saving tyres anyway, so you're not going especially quickly."

"The rule we have is not right, it's dangerous even," he added. "You're driving to a delta time to avoid a penalty, rather than driving in a way that's right for the conditions.

"We knew this kind of thing might happen, which was why we asked to have the rule changed before the weekend.

"The rule is just not right and it needs to be changed, but in a way I hope it stays as it is, because if it's changed, we've just lost a podium for no reason."

"When you only get yellow flags when you see the stopped car, and you have to slow down or get a penalty, the only choice is to brake on a straight, It's dangerous. To have to brake on a straight, when there are cars all around you, just to reach your delta time... You could cause an accident."

He's not happy about it either:

Mortara doesn't like the rule either:

I can't understand, was it a broken suspension or just a dumb rejoining?

His car was broken, couldn't steer anymore...
