It came just a week after Alpine’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon narrowly avoided hitting dozens of F1 personnel who were crossing the pit-lane entrance at ꦿthe end of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Ocon dived into the pitlane on the final lap ൩of the Baku race to serve his mandatory pit stop just as a group of F1 personnel and photographers were at the entrance.
“It was quite 🔴close. I had to lift off, I had to back off, so I would not have liked to𓄧 have been the ones in the middle there,” Ocon explained.
"If I miss the braking point, it is a big dis🌳aster, so that is a crazy moment.”
The FIA responded to the incident by outlining new protocols designed to avoid a similar dangerous🔯 situation unfolding i💙n the future.
The FIA noted: “Team mechanics are not permitted to move from their garages to the parc ferme with cooling fans in anticipation of their cars stopping at the end of ❀the race until after the last car has taken the chequered flag.
"Any other personnel or VIPs are not permitted to ente𒅌r the pi༒t lane until after the last car has taken the chequered flag.
"Any infringement will result in the removal of passes from the team(s) in que♈stion from subsequent events, and potential reporting of the infringing team🐈(s) to the stewards."
