    Half of the cars they checked failed and they didn’t bother inspecting anyone else.

    THAT is a fucking farce. Just another in a long line of them.

    And that stupid fucking plank has always been a joke, as is the fact that they put titanium on it just to make pretty sparks for the cameras.

    The supposed pinnacle of motorsport has always been hamstrung by ass-backwards change-averse douchebags and politicking pricks.

      They randomly check 4 cars, 2 fail. The check does not take a minute, unlike the weighing of the cars. I could not find the exact figure on how long this test takes to do, but given how precise it is, I would assume a good while.

      What are you suggesting to be changed? Are we supposed to hold the award ceremony until every single car is checked to minute detail? Or do we just not do any checks at all?

      I get that it’s frustrating to see 2 drivers get dsq’d for seemingly minor reasons, but rules are rules. Especially after the 2021 controversy.

        for seemingly minor reasons

        It’s the anti-porpoising regulation. It’s there so drivers don’t get health issues in a 100 minute race from bumping a thousand times.
