If he did indeed miss the weigh-bridge then it's a penalty. It has been in all circumstances for the past few years as well; the only reason Webber got off with just a reprimand was because the team brought the car back immediately before any changes could have been made.
Can someone please explain to me about the weigh-bridge .....kind of lost since i thought it was done after qualifying.......or is this something else?
You can technically be brought in during any session. And be subject to.being weighed at the weigh bridge.
Ok i understand that but is he supposed to bring in his car when orange or red light flashes?
Here are the Regulations on the weighing procedure. It doesn't say anything about the lights for notification, but I'm assuming that that's what they are for.
Quote:
26.1.a: During the qualifying practice session cars will be weighed as follows :
i) The FIA will install weighing equipment in the first pit garage (the FIA garage) which will be used for the weighing procedure.
ii) Cars taking part in Q1 and Q2 will be selected at random to undergo the weighing procedure.
iii) When signalled to do so the driver will proceed directly to the FIA garage and stop his engine.
iv) The car will then be weighed with driver and the result given to the driver or a team representative in writing.
v) At the end of the qualifying session all cars which took part in Q3 will be weighed. If a driver wishes to leave his car before it is weighed he must ask the technical delegate to weigh him in order that this weight may be added to that of the car.
vi) If the car is unable to reach the FIA garage under its own power it will be placed under the exclusive control of the marshals who will take the car to be weighed.
vii) A car or driver may not leave the FIA garage without the consent of the FIA technical delegate.
viii) If a car stops on the circuit and the driver leaves the car, he must go to the FIA garage immediately on his return to the pit lane in order for his weight to be established.
26.1.b: After the race every classified car will be weighed. If a driver wishes to leave his car before it is weighed he must ask the technical delegate to weigh him in order that this weight may be added to that of the car.
26.1.c: The relevant car may be excluded should its weight be less than that specified in Article 4.1 of the Technical Regulations when weighed under a) or b) above, save where the deficiency in weight results from the accidental loss of a component of the car.
26.1.d: No substance may be added to, placed on, or removed from a car after it has been selected for weighing or has finished the race or during the weighing procedure. (Except by a scrutineer when acting in his official capacity).
26.1.e: No one other than scrutineers and officials may enter or remain in the FIA garage without the specific permission of the FIA technical delegate.
26.2: In the event of any breach of these provisions for the weighing of cars the stewards may drop the driver such number of grid positions as they consider appropriate or exclude him from the race.
