This is not the first time this situation has occurred, as Ezpeleta said: “It’s the same that happened some years ago in Sachsenring, where everybody took the start from the pitlane”. From then on, they’ve been planning for this situation: “We made the decision, shared by the majority of the teams, to start the way we did” [for the rider who made the right decision and did not move from the grid to start from his original position, while the others start from further back]. “That decision was taken for safety reasons, and it was the right decision”.

Pharrell Williams Partners With FIA On Its First Global Road Safety Campaign
Share this: Pharrell Williams has made appearances in the Formula One paddock during both the Monaco Grand Prix and U.S. Grand Prix in recent years, and he’s now joining forces with the sport’s governing body on a new road safety campaign. Williams is one of 13 ambassadors on the #3500lives campaign, the FIA’s first global road safety campaign. The initiative’s goal is to promote safe driving habits, as well as urge politicians in all countries to prioritize legislation aimed at reducing the likelihood of traffic accidents. The FIA lists 10 “golden rules” for drivers to follow, such as buckling their seat belts, not texting and driving and checking their tires. It also wants people to sign a “Manifesto for Global Road Safety,” which names 10
Catalunya: VR46's "perfect Sunday"
There was a dark grey cloud over the Catalan GP after tragedy struck on the Friday and the paddock mourned the loss of Moto2™ rider Luis Salom. Racing on at the express wish of the Mallorcan’s family, the weekend was pivotal because of the tragedy – and because of the events in parc ferme following the race. With an adjusted layout after track safety was discussed following Friday’s events, it was – surprisingly to some – the Hondas who gained the most from the change. In the race however, it was Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) who struck back once the light went out, finally winning a duel with Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) on the penultimate lap – for
NBA TV Reporter Kristen Ledlow Robbed, Carjacked At Gunpoint In Atlanta
Share this: In one of the scariest and most saddening stories of the weekend, NBA TV host Kristen Ledlow was robbed at gunpoint and carjacked Saturday afternoon outside her Midtown, Georgia home. Ledlow detailed the incident in a social media post, explaining that she’ll be taking a hiatus from her popular accounts. Ledlow told Atlanta police that a group of men approached her after she arrived at her apartment complex, per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. One of the men pointed a gun at her and took her vehicle, a red 2016 Chevrolet Corvette. A tracking device in the vehicle led police to the location of the car 25 minutes later, although the suspects have yet to be found, according to Atlanta police. Authorities are currently
Patriots Pick Six: Rob Gronkowski Destroys Bengals In Tom Brady’s Return Home
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots’ 35-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals will be remembered as Tom Brady’s return to Gillette Stadium after his four-game suspension, but Rob Gronkowski was the game’s biggest standout. If momentum in football exists, it shifted in the second half of the Patriots’ Week 6 win. The Patriots looked lifeless on offense and defense into the third quarter, when the Bengals held a 14-10 lead. The Patriots’ defense forced a safety, and the Bengals never recovered. Here are the stars of the game. TE ROB GRONKOWSKIThe big tight end caught seven of nine targets for a career-high 162 yards with a touchdown — his first Gronk spike of the season. Gronkowski missed two games, didn’t look like himself for
Pedrosa – the 8th wonder of the world
I don’t think there is any doubt that some early but inevitable teething issues in the new Michelin era impacted more on Pedrosa than his rivals. Loris Baz’s spectacular top gear crash over the finish line in the first test of the year in Sepang, which was eventually diagnosed as a puncture, had people fretting. And when Redding’s rear tyre fell apart in practice in Argentina in FP4 that led to an enforced pit stop in the race on safety grounds, Michelin was forced to make harder tyres to build some safety margin into its selection. The harder the tyres got, the harder it became for Pedrosa to be fast. Source link
