      This is jut ridiculous. F1 and FIA fucked up the security and Ferrari gets penalized for it.

        Not trolling, genuinely asking. Why do you say this? I have been working 18 hour shifts all week and have not been able to follow up on anything F1 related. Could you post the backstory or some links where I can inform myself please?

          The damage to the Ferrari car floor, battery and even the monocoque was caused by improperly secured drain covers. FIA should have found this problem before allowing cars on track. F1 as organizer should have done a better job preventing this in total.

          So while usually the track organizer is not actually F1 itself you can argue it’s not their fault something like this happens, in this case it’s stupid that the problem is caused by the entities that are also applying the penalties to the victim of their negligence.

            Sorry for asking a question, on a discussion thread dedicated to this sport and more specifically this session, relating to an incident that just happened. No one HAS to answer me, I asked and other online users were nice enough to answer me. I had in fact read about the Sainz retirement, but had no info regarding the “security” thing. Hence me asking. If you don’t want to answer, don’t. But no need to tell someone off purely because they had asked a question, dude.

            If a friend walked into a gathering and said “Hey, I missed FP2; I heard something about a Ferrari penalty; what happened?”, and another friend answered, that would be fine. Normal.

            Why is it not okay here?
