Ferrari welcomes additional FIA checks to ensure "clear and fair" F1

Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto says he welcomes the FIA’s decision to carry out 🍰“deeper technical checks” to ensure F1 cars comply with the regulations.
Ahead of the new season, t♊he🌳 FIA announced it would conduct random “deeper” post-race technical assessments.
“In order to complete deeper technical checks of the cars in the championship, the technical delegate will routinely and randomly select one car at each event foll🦩owing the race for deeper disassembly, conformity checks and checks of software and systems,” The FIA said in its bulletin released ahead of the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
“Additi𝓰onal checks may also be carried out on t🌠he competitor’s other car.
“These𓄧 checks will be in addition to 🙈the routine checks carried out by the technical department of the FIA and reported at the conclusion of each event.
“Should a stewards’ inves🦋tigation be necessary, in accordance with Art[icle] 11.9ꦚ.3.t of the ISC which concerns decisions that must be taken after an event, the stewards may reconvene, or delegate their authority to a subsequent panel of stewards, or to a panel assembled by the FIA for that purpose.”
Ahead of the 2020 🎶season, the FIA reached a settlement with F♔errari over its 2019 power unit, with the details of the investigation kept under wraps.
It appears the FI💙A’s decision to carry out deeper technical checks is to avoid a similar situation occurring again.
“On the extra checks, again very happy for them,'' Binotto said. “I think it’s obvi🅺ously the FIA’s responsibility to police and to check, and I think if they do that in a different matter we can only be happy. I think it’s maybe the best way somehow to make sure we develop a clear and fair field across the t𒆙eams."
