Lucas di Grassi has been punished for an unsafe release in Formula E's Buenos Aires ePrix, but has kept his podium finish.



During the mid-race car swaps di Grassi's Abt Audi Sport team released him just ahead of Nelson Piquet Jr, who had been right behind his fellow Brazilian when they entered the pits.



The stewards investigated the incident after the race and reported that Piquet had been forced to brake because of di Grassi's release, so di Grassi was given a formal reprimand and a €1500 fine.



By keeping the 15 points he scored for third place, plus three for qualifying on pole, di Grassi remains second in the drivers' championship, 29 points behind Buenos Aires race winner Sebastien Buemi.



In the past, unsafe releases haveThis invention relates to a multi-contact electrical connector for connecting terminal pads or areas on one panel-like member to the terminal pads on the second panel-like member. The particular embodiments disclosed herein are specifically intended to connect the terminal pads which are located along the sides of a substrate to terminal pads on a printed circuit board, however, many other applications of the principles of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art of electronic packaging and interconnections.
The wide-spread and increasing use of solid state electronic devices and the complexity of the circuits in which they are used continues to give rise to the need for new types of electrical connecting devices for forming connections between panel-like surfaces such as the terminal pads on a
