Nico Hulkenberg will be investigated by F1 stewards after Belgian Grand Prix qualifying for a pit-lane ‘crash’ with Lance Stroll.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the field was waiting for the green light to go on, signalling the start of Q1, Hulkenberg’s Stake car was not in the fast lane as the cars queued up.<\/p>\n
Under the race director’s notes, if a driver places their front wheel over the white line demarcating the fast lane, they will be adjudged to have entered it and thus have the right of way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, as the traffic pulled away in front and Hulkenberg went to pull out, he collided with Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin at low-speed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The result was a broken front wing, which was required to be changed for Hulkenberg, whilst Stroll continued on his way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another unsafe release incident was briefly looked into after Ollie Bearman pulled out in front of Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin, but no further action was taken against the Haas driver.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nico Hulkenberg will be investigated by F1 stewards after Belgian Grand Prix qualifying for a pit-lane ‘crash’ with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23790,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,63,827,817,830,828,831,829,826,813,816,823,825,824,822,85],"class_list":["post-23789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23789"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23789\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
