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-up4·8 months 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.
