“Improper Conduct On-Track” – Is this racing or Finishing School? “Driving With Head Up your Ass” would be more accurate.
I totally agree Bill, i mean all the drivers are already second guessing everything they do on track because no one is clear on the rules about anythiing but the pit speed! Except for William anyways lol
The Seabass fine should really read in the rule book ” all indycar drivers must be perfect at all times behind the wheel.” I mean it looked like a racing incident to me, and in racing sometimes things happen and others are affected. Sorry justin just bad luck…… As far as SF fine for the back wing? Ive seen tool boxes and three guys pushing the cars back to spec after the race and could it be possible that caused the slight mm difference of the degrees of wing allowed? Idk it just seems indycar has been doing too much second guessing after the race is over and not putting themselfs in the moment of when it happened before fines are diveed out
