Red Bull Racing and Ferrari both work through after curfew in Canada
- GPblog.com
Red Bull Racing and Ferrari continued working on the car outside of regular hours in Canada. This is allowed to be done eight times in a season and both teams, therefore, do not receive a penalty yet.
Curfew in Canada
In a document from the FIA reveals that Red Bull Racing continued working after the curfew on Wednesday night (local time). After 20:00 local time, no more work is allowed on the cars prior to the first free practice, but Red Bull's evening crew still went to work on the car.
This is not a problem, however, as teams are allowed to do this eight times in a season. Red Bull already did this once before and therefore now sits on two of the eight exceptions. Ferrari also continued to work on the car after eight hours. For the Italian team, it was only the first time this season that it was still working after the curfew. So it has no consequences for Ferrari either.
