Masi clarifies no further investigation for DRS used under yellow flags

Amongst the hectic end to the Brazilian Grand Prix with Bottas retiring, both Ferrari’s crashing into each other and Lewis Hamilton sending Alex Albon for a spin there was an ongoing investigation into drivers using DRS under yellow flags during the race.

This previously meant a penalty to the driver but the rules have since been relaxed with penalties only being given should a driver fail to reduce their speed.

“The overriding factor with double yellow flags is the requirement to slow and significantly slow,” he said as quoted by RaceFans.net.

As to whether the rules need further clarification Masi believes that’s not the case and is the reason for stewards investigating what happens on track to help make a decision.

“It’s one of those things you can’t make a rule to suit every situation,” he added.
