Problem so ti "tajni" Driving Standards Guidelines (no ja, od 1.1.2025 bodo del ISC, ki pa je javno objavljen). Ker niso javno objavljeni (le zakaj ne?) in predvsem, ker so katastrofalno zanič napisani.
Recimo za avto, ki prehiteva po zunanji strani:
- Have the front axle AT LEAST ALONGSIDE WITH the front axle of the other car at the apex of the corner and to the exit.
- Be driven in a safe and controlled manner throughout the manoeuvre (entry, apex and exit).
- Be able to make the corner within the track limits
V točki 1 bi moral bit "any overlap between cars
V točki 3 bi moralo pisat "Be able to make the corner while leaving enough room for the other car on the inside within track limits"
Ali pa prehitevnaje po notranji strani:
A car overtaking on the inside must:
- Have its front axle AT LEAST ALONGSIDE of the mirror of the other car no later than the apex of the corner.
- Be driven in a safe and controlled manner throughout the manoeuvre (entry, apex and exit).
- Without (deliberately) forcing the other car off the track at the exit. This includes leaving a fair and acceptable width for the car being overtaken from the apex to the exit of the corner.
- Be able to make the corner within the track limits.
V točki 1 bi moral bit "any overlap between cars
V točki 3 je beseda delibaratly odveč. Ne sme je biti. Tisti, ki prehitava, je odgovoren, če tekmeca rine ven, pa če je to žele ali pa mu le ni zneslo.
V točki 4 bi moralo pisat "Be able to make the corner while leaving enough room for the other car on the outside within track limits"
Plus, sodniki naj bi pri presojanju upoštevali:
- How did the cars get to the incident? (E.g. late braking, diving in, moving under braking.)
- Was the manoeuvre late or “optimistic”?
- What could the drivers reasonably see, know, or anticipate?
- Do we believe the manoeuvre could be completed on the track?
- Was there understeer / oversteer / locking?
- Did someone position / handle their car in a way that contributed to the incident?
- Did the type of corner contribute to the incident? (e.g. camber, kerbs, curve, apexes)
- What were the relative tyres / tyre age / grip?
Pa so (vsaj) točke 2, 3, 7, 8 odveč. So problem voznika in ne sodnikov.
Tole ni glih rocket science, razen za butlje pri FIA.
