Don't remember any calls for Haas or Williams getting an exception.

It's also not as simple as granting an exception and washing your hands. Granting an exception creates a precedent. Especially as those rigid rules are what makes this a sport.

Well russell had far less damage in 2019 so he did not get a penalty. No expectation needed in that case.

There should be a precendent! 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.

A drain cover famously destroyed Ricciardo's car a few years ago. Not sure what they did back then

Drain cover incidents are nothing new (sadly) but history seems to fall to two categories: incidents with not as much damaged and requiring no restricted parts, or ones that happened during the race with no opportunities for repair anyway.

When was this. I seem to have forgotten this incident
