Originally I said this recall was pointless but maybe not. They seem to be in no hurry to fix the throttle hesitation issue. So might as well make sure the people who get T-boned because of it are in fact able to make an emergency call afterwards.
Interestingly my first thought was changing to a 1 stop caused there to be less rubber left on the tires compared to a 2 stop strategy but dismissed it thinking it couldn't have made that much of a difference.
So, with Russell, are the cars weighed with or without tires? Interestingly, they turned back up the pit lane instead of a parade lap. So no one had the opportunity to collect any marbles on their tires.
