Other drivers, team strategy, etc., are part of the hazards. Shit tracks, however, shouldn't be. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] kg76@infosec.pub 13 points 2 years ago The damage was a result of poor track inspection and quality. Ferarri and Carlos should not pay the price for repairing the damage DIRECTLY caused by the track. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) The FIA can change the regulations sure. But retroactively applying them would be another issue. Without thinking about the can of worms such a rule change would bring. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] cybersandwich@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) Just make an exception.

It's also not as simple as granting an exception and washing your hands. Granting an exception creates a precedent.

If something comes off the track and damages a car through no fault of the team, they should be able to repair. Why penalize the driver for an environmental condition. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Microw@lemm.ee [S] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) A drain cover famously destroyed Ricciardo's car a few years ago.
