Non-refuelling stops


If a driver pits and isn�t refuelled then he�s in some sort of bother. Either he has a technical problem that needs immediate attention, or he�s been given a penalty for some sporting infringement. The less severe of these is a drivethrough penalty where he has just to drive through the pit lane at the regulation speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph) before immediately rejoining the race. The harsher penalty is a stop-and-go, in which the driver has to remain stationary for 10 seconds before rejoining the race. Typical offences for which such penalties are awarded include passing under yellow flags or jumping the start.
