If Felipe Massa had repeated a mistake made in qualifying at Sakhir during Sunday’s Bahrain grand prix, the Brazilian might have thrown away victory.
The Ferrari driver would not have been merely fined 1400 euro if he had exceeded the 80kph pit lane speed limit by nearly 9kph on Sunday rather than a day earlier.
During the race, such an indiscretion would have cost him a drive-through penalty and almost certainly his top spot on the podium.
