Wrong tyres add to Williams woes
« on: September 09, 2011, 07:32:38 PM »

How much worse can season get? Now team caught using wrong tyres in FP2.  :o

Williams has been fined 5000 Euros for a breach of the tyre regulations during Friday practice at the Italian Grand Prix.

Rubens Barrichello was found to have used a set of option tyres that had not been allocated for use on Friday during second free practice.

Article 25.4 of Formula 1 Sporting Regulations state that three sets of dry-weather tyres will be allocated by the FIA technical delegate for each driver for use during P1 and P2 - made up of two 'prime' sets and 'one' option.

Drivers cannot use any other tyres from the other sets that have been allocated for the remainder of the weekend.

What a mess! Williams really are in the throes of turmoil - that's the sort of thing I'd expect Force India (due to randomness) or Virgin (due to relatively poor organisation) to be doing.

They're worth 86p each, which is quite a bit. Might still be chicken feed to the F1 team, but Williams will be more embarassed because such a trivial mistake happened at all.
