minus-square@TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink0•9 months agoTeams knew that it would be a sprint weekend. Teams knew Austin is bumpy as hell. Teams therefore knew that the floor would get 19 more laps of abuse. Mercedes has already admitted fault and I doubt either them or ferrari will appeal this. It was their mistake. I like shitting on FIA as much as the next guy, but why shit on them for stupid reasons?
