Force India & Red Bull given pit-stop fines after Germany

The Red Bull and Force India teams have both been fined for unsafe pit-stop releases during Sunday’s race at the Nurburgring.

Mark Webber, Red Bull, 2013 German Formula 1 Grand Prix, Formula 1

Red Bull were fined €30,000 after the right-rear tyre from Mark Webber’s car became detached as the Australian left his pit box. The errant tyre subsequently bounced down the pit lane before striking an FOM cameraman who was treated at the circuit’s medical centre before being helicoptered to Koblenz Hospital for observation.

Paul di Resta, Force India F1, 2013 German Formula 1 Grand Prix, Formula 1

Force India, meanwhile, were given a €5,000 fine after releasing Paul di Resta into the path of Toro Rosso’s Jean-Eric Vergne.
