“The Stewards note that if they had the authority to grant a derogation in what they consider in this case to be mitigating, unusual and unfortunate circumstances, they would have done so, however the regulations do not allow such action.”

Hopefully the FIA can step in and override this by tomorrow, seems like everyone would be on board

Yeah this isn't a wonderful look for the sport. Other drivers, team strategy, etc., are part of the hazards. Shit tracks, however, shouldn't be.

The damage was a result of poor track inspection and quality. Ferarri and Carlos should not pay the price for repairing the damage DIRECTLY caused by the track.

The FIA can change the regulations sure. But retroactively applying them would be another issue. Without thinking about the can of worms such a rule change would bring.
