In the first lap they could better skip that chicane.

That first chicane is a bit of a joke. In race 2 about half the field made no attempt to take the corner and headed for the grass.
Tarquini has now been given a delay penalty and will drop 5 grid places at the next race. |

I still remember that race, I still think it was cool that Rickard just gave everything, now he had the chance. Obviously it was not in the teams best interest, but he was on the hometurf in a fast car.

I'm not quite sure where they are coming from with that penalty ? Would it not make sense to apply a penalty to the actual event itself ? |

Yeah, that was indeed a bit weird. Rydel was in front all the time, so what place was he supposed to "give back" while Tarquini clearly overtook several front runners in that move.
My conclusion... Racetrack stewards + Larini and Tarquini = Italians Rydel = Not Italian If they can't look past nationality when making rulings there, perhaps WTCC shouldnt go to Italy at all... In any case, the real problem is the very bad design of that chicane. There should just be no way cutting across the grass and that patch of asphalt should be quicker then staying on track, and you wont see 20 cars passing there on the first lap. Make eg the last 50% of it a sandbunker and put some zigzaging obstacles at the end of that alsphalt patch, and the cars will not rejoin the track miles ahead of where they should be. |
