I've been noticing it has been very sandy at the inside of the pit straight. Yet people still go down there to pass/block. It's killing grip for the next few corners on those cars.
As long as the FIA don't deem the wing too dangerous to drive with, and Massa's laptimes aren't hampered by the wing, there is no reason for Ferrari to spend extra time in the pits to change the wing.
That was a different case. Alonso's wing was no longer properly attached to the car after his contact. Massa's only damage on his frontwing is a winglet that is damaged, which is only a part of the frontwing and not a part that actually contributes to the strength of the frontwing as a whole.
But, Alonso's whole front wing was hanging off then, it's just a end plate and winglets on Massa's car, and we know a similar problem didn't stop Raikkonen last week.
Both McLaren drivers need to chill the 🤬 out. Perez hits Button, Button forces Perez off. I mean, this is great racing, but you don't race your teammates like that.
These punctures have nothing to do with wear, though, because they are happening nowhere near a scheduled pitstop. These are happening purely from either battles on track, or debris on the track.
