“Schumacher would be Penalized in Monza, IF we saw it, but we didn’t.” Derek Daly tells all!
Sep15
Straight out of the mouth of the Derek Daly, driver steward representative for the Italian Grand Prix:
“Well, that is the gist of it, but here is what is more accurate,” Daly told GPUpdate.net by telephone on Wednesday. “At the Lap 20 time period, Charlie (Whiting, Race Director) asked us to look at the Massa-Trulli incident at the second chicane. We had video that was not of great quality, so you had to study it slightly more. That was the exact time when the Lesmo incident happened.”
“At the time of the first Lesmo incident on Lap 20, I personally didn’t see it. I’m not saying the rest of the stewards didn’t see it, but I personally didn’t see it because I was watching the replay of the other one (Massa and Trulli). If I had seen it, my point was that I would probably have made a recommendation that a penalty should be imposed.
