    Its very unusual for any car to fail this kind of random plank wear check…infact I cant remember the last time anyone was DQ’d for such an infringement… With 2 of the 4 cars selected, failing these checks, I wonder how many others would have failed had the whole field been subjected to the same scrutiny… 🤷🏻‍♂️

      If only the rules made any sense whatsoever and they were all checked (which they should be). 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.

        Fair application of the rules has never been the FIA’s MO.

        And what if 2 back markers failed and nobody cared. Random is about as fair as you can get. Just because it doesn’t seem fair doesn’t mean it wasn’t.

          Universally 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.
