So if the transponder is faulty(hypothetically) or just not sensitive enough, does that mean people will get away with false starts¿?
That appears to be the case.
He jumped, clear as day, but the transponder didn’t reflect that so he got no penalty.
No as in there won't be a penalty or no as in there will be a penalty¿?
And that is what i am trying to highlight through my question. The rule is enforced completely based on the transponder but if its malfunctioning then drivers will not be penalized as the the transponder has not picked up their jump start.
That the rule having no flexibility is stupid. It is obvious from the videos that Norris jumped the start but because the rules are based purely on the signals from the transponder, he has escaped punishment.
I am not saying lando should be punished. I am saying that the rule should be reviewed and updated for the future to handle cases technology cannot/ fails to handle.
Doesn’t answer the question lol
The question was ‘if it’s faulty will people get away with it’.
You answered ‘you don’t know if it’s faulty’
That is not the answer to the question. The question that answers is ‘can you game the system with a faulty transponder’.
The answer to the question is actually yes. If the transponder is faulty the driver will get away with a jumpstart.
