But, whatever happened to the minimum 2 seconds requirement FIA set?
It wasn't a requirement, they made changes with the intention that it would always take at least two seconds.
The teams just adapted and got better again.
Well as far as I know the pneumatic wheel thingies (can't remember the right word for them) have a green light that switches on after 2 seconds. Before that you're not allowed to send the car of.
I believe it has a green light that shows once the required torque is reached. They monitor the time between the light and the reaction time to send the car. If the reaction time is too quick, indicating they sent the car without actually waiting for the green light, then that’s what may cause an issue.
There’s no 2 second mandate. Red Bull have already been under 2 seconds this season.
