With qualifying so late at night is is going to be COLD.
It was just a small water valve that the concrete and asphalt broke up, and the parts that hold the cover in place was the real issue. And then they have to inspect all the other ones. And then some lucky engineer will have to sign off that yep, the track is safe.
The lawyers have to be salivating at all the law suits that will be filed.
And the F1 rules are evidently 107 pages and no mention of common sense. Ferrari deserves a break, and no grid penalties and a waiver on the spending cap. That hit on the Ferrari took out the chassis, the engine and the battery pack. A pretty expensive cover. I wonder who will get to have that water valve cove as a souvenir.

When do you think the spending cap is reset? Beginning of each year or season? Will Ferrari be using new chassis next year? I just read they get 3 engines and electric motor boosters with generators per car per year. More exhaust systems, but still limited in number.
So I agree that if the complete power train was compromised by the fault of the track, they should get a bye. But it's the last race, so they have to already be on their last legs. So what do you do? Tough question.
Reading the rules on chassis replacement is tedious. Sorta reminds me of the Lincoln's axe story.
