A timely article from the FIA has shed light on their scrutineering processes in F1.
The FIA has issued a timely explainer on how post-session checks are carried out on F1 cars in the interests of fairness and legality.
The FIA acknowledged that their post-race scrutineering process had been ‘under the spotlight’ following the DSQs of Hamilton and Leclerc, but made it clear from the outset that random post-race checks have been part of their procedure for ‘many decades’ and ‘exists to ensure compliance with the regulations by virtue of the fact that the teams do not know before the race which specific areas of which cars might be examined beyond the standard checks carried out on every car each weekend.
, in the aftermath of the investigation, that being if 50% of the sample size were found to be in breach of the FIA regulations then surely that is strong enough ground to warrant a more widespread investigation to check all other cars that finished the race.
The FIA also made it clear that car checks are not just strictly limited to post-qualifying or post-race sessions.
