Then we would actually know. What if Carlos and George would have failed as well? They just get promoted in the points because of “reasons”. I guess fair application of the rules is too much to ask.

minus-squarelistener17@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 years agoUniversally applying a rule by measuring all competitors shouldn’t be contentious. People baby the FIA too much. I am sure they can find a way to make it work–especially considering 50% of the cars they randomly tested failed.
minus-squareBURN@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoPretty much every Motorsport body does it this way iirc. Nascar doesn’t inspect every car after every race in excruciating detail, they just spot check anything they think could have been manipulated.
