European Renault V6 question
What was the problem with José Maria Lopez (the race winner) rear wing in Race 1. One side looked like it was going down.
Is that ment to happen and is it within the rules? |

José Maria Lopez (DAMS, winner) : "I'm surprised to hear people saying that I had a problem with my rear wing because I didn't see anything in the mirror and the team didn't tell me anything at the radio. My car was well set up for this race but after 8 or 9 laps I started to feel a loss of downforce at the back. When I pitted to change tyres the new ones gave me a very good grip and I regained confidence in my car. I was also able to set the best lap."

Our commentator btw said that Lopez probably has a 'slow-puncture' (I dont know the english term for this) on his left rear tire and therefore the left side of the car went down a bit.Also the cameraman spoted on Lopez' left rear tire a couple of times and indeed it didnt seem to be in its perfectly normal shape.But Lopez' just kept on scoring fastest laps so I dont really undrestand it.

I recall that Pizzonia was disqualified from his 3rd (or 4th?) place in Monza in 2002 because his team didnt fixed his rear wing properly and the FIA belived that it gave some advantage for Antonio in the straights...

Yes. There are no news about any modification of the results.
In the first race at Spa, when Gommendy won his car had also a supposed irregularity, then the stewards requested him but the team Signature won the appeal and Gommendy have kept his win. |
