Hamilton put on one of the best shows around today to get thrown out over a plank measurement.

This is why aliens don't stop here.

The team breached the regulations and was thus disqualified. What's the issue?

Random checks seem odd to me

There's only 20 cars, just check them all

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Agreed, if by random check they found 2 of 4, they should do check all the grid. Jezz

Imagine this was some sort of safety check, and after finding 50% of your sample faulty you just stopped checking. Well done F1.

Yea this decision has a lot of โ€œcovid cases keep climbing because they keep testingโ€ energy. If 50% fail then you need to test the whole damn field lol

But it's not a safety check. Its a technical rules check. They applied the rules as they are written, is this not what everyone wants? If they randomly changed the rules in order to DQ more cars, that would be an outrage. I think a lot of F1 fans need to actually think about what they they are asking for.
