I seem to be in the minority here but isn't that a terrible waste of time? What would it achieve maybe 2 or 3 more disquals, fans are even more outraged. Doesn't seem like a productive use of time. The rules are the way they are to make it not worth it for teams to run out of compliance cars, if a team flies too close to the sun and gets caught then good, its working. The system did its job.

But then thatโ€™s like saying โ€˜we should only check track limits for 20% of the cars runningโ€™.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the rules said that then yeah, but they don't. The rules do however say we will randomly check x number of cars for rule x on any given weekend and that's what they did. Are you suggesting the fia change the rules in the middles of a weekend in order to disqualify more cars? That would be an outrage.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No, Iโ€™m suggesting the rules are wrong to start with.
