Okay, I'm not up on all the details of F1, but that sounds fucking stupid!

The track was literally faulty, the driver/car/team didn't do anything wrong, they shouldn't be punished.

It’s the US. Sue the City for compensatory damages.

What a corporate distopian hell hole.

Of all the teams. This happens to Ferrari. Without bad luck, they have no luck at all.

Sadly, no exceptions should be made for these kind of cases. It's just bad luck, and it sucks for Sainz. But we need coherence in regulations enforcement from the stewards.

It's not bad luck. It is incompetence by FOM resulting in massive damage to a team. People hosting the race(FOM in this case) should be aware of these things and ensure than drain cover failures like these don't happen

FIA supervise that the track complies with the requirements. I think this one's on the FIA... (and they have precedents, so this could've been avoided).

But..... money.

It wasn't a drain cover though. If you put a shelf up onto a wall, and then when you load up the shelf the wall falls over. That's not on you.

Well the formula 1 article refers to it as a drain cover. It did look more like a cap but since I don't know the technical term, I went with what the official article referred to it as.

If you put a shelf up onto a wall, and then when you load up the shelf the wall falls over. That's not on you.

It is on you if you are the one who designed the shelf and decided to fix it at point of the wall without measuring if the wall could handle the load. It is different matter if you had a carpenter to build and install the shelf. In that it is his/her responsibility to ensure that the wall can handle a loaded shelf. In this case, since FOM are hosting the race, it is completely their responsibility that shit like this does not happen.
