Cause revealed of strange incideꦅnt at F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix

Bizarre footage of a botched pit stop at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix has been explained.
Alpine’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon came into the pits - ꧋but had just a si🍰ngle mechanic seemingly ready for his arrival.

“Ocon was a miscommunicati🎶on in the pits between the engineers and the mechanics,” Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz explained.
“▨So when Ocon came in to the garage, the mechanics had not been told, and were not out in the pit.
“Ocon was like ‘woah I’ve come in♊ here, where is my pit crew? Bit odd…’
“So he went through and wasted 11 seconds of race time, then had to come by and pit again when the pit crew were tolꦜd that ‘Ocon is co𝓡ming in’.
“He had to pit for soft tyres at the end, on Lap 46, because his tyres were gone. A new set of softs♔ were the only tyres he had left.♏”
Ocon could only finish 🎐17th at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, having qualified in 11tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚh.
On a dreadful day for Alp𒐪ine, Ocon’s teammate Pierre Gasly lined u🉐p third on the starting grid but failed to finish.
“Gasly was a DNF because some cylinders started to go off, then the engine pretty much blew,💎” Kravit✅z explained.
Alpine have lost crucial ground in the constructors’🅠 championship after the♕ir bad day at the office.
Haas have overtaken them into sixth place in the standings afte🥃r Nico Hulꦦkenberg finished within the points.
Each spot in the constructors’ c๊hampionship is worth approximately $10 million - meaning Alpine’s forgettable Las Vegas Grand Prix c💯ould hit them in the pocket.
They have two rounds remaining this season to claw back a place, and the money as♏ a result.
