The scenes in the Zandvoort pitlane on Sunday were hair-raising, leading to both a safety and a regulatory debate. Arjun Maini’s Ford clipped a tire held by a Dörr mechanic with its rear wing while pulling into his pit box. While the wing was damaged, the mechanic luckily escaped unharmed.
Thomas Preining nearly took out an Abt mechanic when accelerating away from his stop, with the mechanic only just managing to spin away in time. On Saturday, Thierry Vermeulen struck a tire prepared by the HRT team for Finn Wiebelhaus's stop, sending it sliding toward the Emil Frey garage.
