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
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 “covid cases keep climbing because they keep testing” 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.
