Karun Chandhok suggests FIA should have made exception after Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc DSQs

Hamilton and Leclerc were excluded from♛ the race results in Austin after the FIA found that their skid blocks had worn♕ excessively.
They were just two of four cars checked after the race, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris’ cars passing the post-race checks.
Chandhok - who is a regular pundit for Sky Sports F1 in the UK - felt that 𒅌Hamilton ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚand Leclerc were unfortunate to be targeted by the FIA given that their teammate’s weren’t.
“If you find two cars that are illegal, you should automatically check their team-mates because there’s a good chance that they have very similar setups, so I think that’s something that’s worth thinking abᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚout for the future,” Chandhok said during the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend."

The former HRT driver would have b🐼een happy for the FIA to assess the e𒊎ntire grid - as one-off exception - even if it meant waiting for the final result until the following day.
“Every time you do a plank check, it takes half an hour,” he added. “So, if you have to check all 20 cars𝓰, that’s five hours, then the results have to be checked by the stewards, then eventually the results will come out.
“So, there’s a question🍎 of do we want a situation where the results are declared seven hours after the grand prix.
“We don’t want that on every occasion, but what happened in Austin hasn’t happened in 29 years so actually on that ▨occasion, I think it warranted it, and I wouldn’t hav🌸e minded waiting till Monday for the official results if I knew that all 20 cars were checked.”
