Is Redbull allowed repair (replace) the floor before the race?

[–] FrostyTrichs 7 points 5 months ago (6 children)

Short answer is yes, with identical parts otherwise it's a grid drop or pitlane start depending on what is changed and why.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (5 children)

I think that still needs approval of the stewards.

[–] FrostyTrichs 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You are incorrect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Looks like approval was needed and granted
changed during parc ferme
From the document:
Car 01: Floor assembly (without skids and plank)
Floor keel panel

All above parts have been replaced with the approval of the FIA technical delegate following a written request from the team concerned, this being in accordance with Article 40.3 of the 2024 Formula One Sporting Regulations.

I don't understand how or why approval would've been needed, unless Red Bull asked just to be safe?

The damage should've been covered under normally allowed repairs during parc ferme rules:

I'll agree g iii could fit. If it was an out lap, or if he went into the pits at the end of the lap, the time wouldn't have been deleted, and although time was lost, was it "significant"?

And 40.3 specifies for repairs not covered in 40.2. So no harm in asking anyway, certainly better than a DQ.
