Good. That's all that is wrong with F1 rules... Way after the fact ruling to boot ! The fact that car survived, the driver battled like a demon to score points, looked totally exhausted post race - it was good stuff that everyone appreciated ! F1 doesn't need to shoot themselves in the foot like that - rule at the time or not at all. I get why Haas did that, they got dinged twice at least with unnecessary meatball stuff, but nobody looks good coming out of this - I'm liking Steiner less now, which is hard to do..

The appeal will probably fail, FIA sucks really bad these days... the ultimate irony is ... Alonso lost this mirror because Stroll was not looking into his !!! And he raced without one better than Stroll with 2... Shame on you FIA.
