Red Bull Ring marshals have responded to criticism on their handling of Carlos Sainz’s fire F1 AustrlianGP
Sainz was forced out of the Spielberg race in the closing stages after suffering a catastrophic engine failure, which triggered a blaze on hisSainz was one of several people suggesting that the incident could have been dealt with more swiftlySpeaking afterwards, Sainz said: “I was calling the marshals to come and help me, to put something on the tyres to stop the car rolling down but I think the whole process was a bit slow.
Primarily, it stated that the first issue at stake was the fact that marshals are not allowed to attend to incidents until they have been given the go-ahead by race control.in 2014, the FIA's rules regarding recoveries and interventions on the track have been drastically tightened,” said the statement.
“Several unfortunate circumstances came together,” they added. “The place where Sainz parked the Ferrari was not visible from the marshals' stand. They received instructions over the radio to go to the car with fire extinguishers, and when they saw the situation, they made the decision to call in the fire engine .
“Of course, in retrospect, when you look at the TV pictures and recordings from the track cameras, you find things that need to be improved. We will also discuss these internally and together with our people.
