Ferrari admite pedir compensação pelo acidente com a tampa de esgoto em Las Vegas

In the first free practice of the Las Vegas Formula 1 Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz had an accident and extensive damage to his Ferrari due to a loose sewer cover – which later prompted an examination of all sewer covers on the track. Esteban Ocon (Alpine) was also affected, and now the Scuderia is considering requesting compensation.

In addition to the damage that had to be repaired, Sainz was also subject to a controversial ten-place grid penalty – he had to exceed the maximum allocation for the season for one of the components that was damaged. At a time when there is a fierce battle with Mercedes for second place in the Constructors’ Championship, the losses could be even greater if Ferrari cannot come out on top in this duel.

Team Principal Frédéric Vasseur admitted, quoted in Auto Motor und Sport, that the Maranello team may seek compensation for the damages caused: ‘The person who made the decision for the yellow flag saw something, but then it took a minute until the red flag came out. You have loose metal parts and drivers going at 340km/h. This will be a private conversation we will have with the organizers [about possible compensation]. I am irritated by the incident, but because of the organization.’

The Frenchman also detailed the damages and the lack of warning for the loose sewer cover: ‘The metal piece cut the car throughout its length. There were yellow flags in the area, so there had to be a reason for it, but we were not told. There would have been enough time to warn everyone.’
