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 thatβs like saying βwe should only check track limits for 20% of the cars runningβ.
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.
No, Iβm suggesting the rules are wrong to start with.
