This feels like the ground work to force a relaxed application of the rules.
Merc will continue throwing a bitchfit unless and until this happens.
I wish it was the groundwork to get rid of sprint weekends
I find it odd that every car isn’t checked after the race for things like this.
Every car is checked for weight and fuel, right? Why not check everyone for other easy to measure criteria?
ha right when Oscar was sparking like crazy the announcers were talking about just that.
Let the boys race! For fucks sake. Rules suck when they DQ racers over technicalities.
Lol this isn’t just a technicality. It’s a major part of the sporting regulations.
Well test every car then. DQ everyone who fails.
That isn’t even possible given the amount of time it would take. Lewis, is that you?
There are only 20 cars. How hard is it to measure 20 planks?
Would depend how long parc fermé lasts after the race, what equipment they’re using to test, etc.
I’d like to see how many cars fail.
I’m not sure, but it’s telling that Merc and Ferrari were the only teams who ran their cars so aggressively at the USGP. RB and McLaren actually raised their cars and planned for it, thus not failing the post-race inspection.
