Data measured during the race reportedly prompted the FIA into action.
The FIA reportedly recorded high vertical oscillating data in Lewis Hamilton’s and Charles Leclerc’s car which prompted their investigation.
But the FIA have reportedly said their decision to pick those two was due to data they observed during the race.Hamilton and Leclerc were crossed off the finishers list after their skid block was found to be less than 9mm thick, a violation of the FIA’s rules in regards to how much the plank can scrape along the floor.
As for why it was Hamilton and Leclerc, there was no grand master plan behind it but instead an observation of the data during the race “We don’t know if the rest of the field was legal or illegal. I’ve asked some of the team members and of course they will say that their car was fine. Another team said they weren’t sure which is nonsense because they will on the build down or that sort of things check but if you’re a kilo underweight or a millimetre too wide with your wings, you get thrown out of the race and that’s why those regulations are there and those two cars were outside the regulations at the end of the grand prix.
