John K Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 If you guys are watching a recording of the F1, look at Bottas's pit stop on lap 39 When the right hand front wheel gun made contact, it seemed to strike a proper arc, sparks all over the shop. I know there are a lot of electriks on board, but that can't be right can it..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djm Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I saw that too, most likely a problem with the hybrid electrical system earthing out through the air gun. Definitely not right though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Or just static discharging. On second thoughts there won't be any as the wet track and car would not allow a build up of static. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought was the same, and then the second was the same as well LOL... It just seems very wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyonspride Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Maybe a bit of naughtiness? Trying to use the pit equipment to give a bit of extra charge to the system? I don't follow F1 at all, so I have no idea how it works these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the idea is total BS, for you even to be able to think that way makes you an evil genius... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hope the F1 teams don't read this thread, it may give them ideas-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommo Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I thought maybe the the gun had slipped at the nut was rounding off. Seemed to stay on though so presumably less dramatic than it looked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John K Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hope the F1 teams don't read this thread, it may give them ideas-- Hmmm... Have you noticed Lyonspride never posts during a GP... And with his thought processes being slipier than a greased weasel, I reckon he is part of one of the works teams... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
