For those who wish to report anything, a reminder that we must receive a protest or report by 11:59pm AEDT tonight for us to look into the matter.
Additionally, the admin team has completed its review of the major incidents at T2 and T5 on lap 1 (the kink on the main straight is actually T1, so congrats everyone on a 100% clean T1 this round ).Normally we will not post investigation outcomes in the round thread and confine it to the penalty and protest zone. However, as we did say both on Discord and earlier in the thread we would look into these incidents, we want to ensure everyone is aware of the outcome of the review.
In short summary:
The review demonstrated there were two separate although not unrelated incidents at T2 and then T5.
T2 - No penalties or warnings are being issued
T5 - No Penalties and a single warning has been issued
A fuller post is available in the penalty and protest zone for those particularly interested, but importantly having reviewed the opening corners, it is clear to the admin team that regarding the initial and major collision at T2, although it impacted many people's races, no one involved in the incident was being overly aggressive, piled into the corner with too much speed or was too late on the brakes. It was unfortunate it affected so many drivers, but no one was predominantly or mostly to blame. Indeed the control inputs of the drivers involved largely showed everyone was trying to be careful and considerate.
I know it was a bit of a mess in Turn 2, but on this occasion everyone was largely trying to be sensible, and it was an unfortunate racing incident. Fair play to everyone involved who just picked themselves up and got on with the race!
