Tombazis explained this dated back to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in June, when the black and orange flag was shown to AlphaTauri driver Tsunoda after the DRS flap on his rear wing failed. FIA set to reduce use of F1 black-and-orange flag warnings.“Our assessment was, having analysed the situation, that we overreacted a bit.” Read Also:
“We revised our criteria on the black and orange flag from Mexico onwards, we already saw one or two cars after that that were not shown the black and orange flag,” said Tombazis. The FIA is set to reduce its use of the black and orange flag moving forward as a result, with its technical chief, Tombazis, accepting there had been an overreaction. It prompted Haas to launch a protest against Fernando Alonso’s car in Austin, which raced with a loose rear view mirror that eventually fell off due to accident damage. Fontana failed to finish the first race and crossed the chequered flag in 14th for the Sunday event.Haas drivers were told to pit on three occasions in 2022 due to a loose front wing endplate, despite the team feeling the car was still safe and not posing any risk. Yamamoto retired from both events.Īlex Fontana also got his only taste of the championship at the Battersea Park circuit that same year, being swapped in as Vitantonio Liuzzi was double booked and was racing in the GT Asia Series at Okayama that same weekend. The former Formula 1 driver was brought in to replace Antonio Felix da Costa, who had a race commitment for the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM). That same weekend, Sakon Yamamoto also made his first and only Formula E outing. She finished just outside the points in both London races and was drafted in to replace Justin Wilson. Racing in London, she became the third woman to compete in Formula E and would later be snapped up by the Amlin Andretti team for the following season. Swiss driver de Silvestro was brought in by Andretti for the remaining two races of Season 1 and partnered Jean-Eric Vergne in the team.
