ArrayAzelhice do piloto... e da Mclaren.
O Kova tinha a viseira cheia de óleo e precisou tirar, mas inadvertidamente tocou no botão do limitador de velocidade na box... azelhice do Kova.
Na Ferrari, o botão do limitador de velocidade de box só se pode activar quando o carro vai em 1ª velocidade (lógico)... azelhice da Mclaren. Má ergonomia do volante. Detalhes... :noworry:[/quote]
Não sei se tinha razão ou não no post que fiz (parece que afinal não estava a limpar a viseira mas a dar murros nele próprio...) mas aqui fica a novidade:
McLaren to change speed limiter system
By Jonathan Noble Wednesday, March 19th 2008, 10:33 GMT
<span style="color:#008080">McLaren are to look into changing their pit-lane speed limiter system to ensure drivers cannot accidentally activate it, following Heikki Kovalainen's late-race drama in Melbourne.
Kovalainen had just overtaken Fernando Alonso for fourth place when he inadvertently hit the pit-lane speed limiter button on the start-finish straight - which slowed his car down and allowed Alonso to repass him.
In light of what happened, McLaren are to look into modifying the system to ensure that such a scenario cannot happen again.
McLaren's engineering director Paddy Lowe told this week's Autosport: "We'll certainly look at changing it for the future.
"I think we could have done a better job frankly to stop that happening either in the way it's managed electronically or just simply in the way we manage it ergonomically. It shouldn't be something you can pick up by accident when you're moving your hands around."
Some teams have systems where the speed limiter is deactivated above a certain speed or gear.
