Ferrari to ditch pit lights after blunder
Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), Oct 8, 2008
FERRARI team boss Stefano Domenicali has revealed the Scuderia are to ditch their electronic pit stop system in the wake of a costly blunder at the Singapore Grand Prix.
The Italian team had done away with the traditional lollipop system to hold the car in the pits during refuelling and tyre stops, instead implementing a 'traffic light' gantry that turns green when it is safe for the driver to move off.
But the system was found wanting at Singapore last time out when Felipe Massa (left) was given the signal to leave the pits while the refuelling hose was still attached.
"Right now we need to stay calm and decided to go back to the old system," said Domenicali.
