What the hell? How can be unretiring a car to serve a penalty, then retire it again be in the rules?
Because there is no definition of “retiring” in the rulebook. Which should have been on their radar years ago, you see it regularly how cars pull into the pits and the official tracking keeps showing them as “in the race” and not “retired”.
If it is not banned…
They did a pitstop and served the 5 seconds and then retired the car. This is why he was out there for 2 laps
I just did a cursory search on the FIA’s 2023 Sporting Regulations, and I couldn’t find anything about the procedures through which drivers serve penalties, so…
It was 25 the last time they counted
