Webber receives post-qualifying reprimand

24 July 2010

Red Bull’s Mark Webber has been handed a warning by FIA Race Stewards for returning to the pit lane too quickly at Hockenheim on Saturday.

Following the qualifying session, which finished just under ten minutes late due to the Q1 stoppage for Vitantonio Liuzzi’s crash, all cars – under sporting regulations – were required to enter the pits no sooner than an electronic countdown timer, displayed on their steering wheels, had reached its end.

However, having confirmed that Webber travelled between the two Safety Car lines (one located after Turn 1 and the other before the pit entrance) too quickly, stewards handed the Australian an official reprimand in Race Control.

The Australian, who has qualified fourth for Sunday’s race, receives no other penalty for his breaching of Article 30.13.
