"right to use the pitlane every lap"

[GolddustMini]

if this has been covered before then please merge with the neccesary thread.

now its a well known right that the teams can use the pitlane every lap if they so wish and this was something pointed to in the fia statement.

now what im thinking is that, yes the pitlane is dangerous, people work mear inches away from cars passing at 50mph. people also cross the pitlane to get to the pitwall to pass messages etc. so is it really safe to have 14 cars going through the pits every lap nose to tail through the pits and then dragging out of the pits again, only to return to the pits, slam on the brakes for the limiter line and bounce of the limitter for a while and then out again. its bound to lead to an accident, especially as the driver behind would not know if the car infront was simply passing through or "in for business". too cars contact, debris everywhere, pit crew get squashed, i think you'll find that that isnt a safe situation.

anyone who has ever worked in a pitlane can justify that they are dangerous places to be in. and the less cars that pass through the better.

cars are dangerous things at any speed, thats why there are barriers on the curcuit and marshals are not allowed on the track when cars are passing...

just my 2 cents
