Theory I have heard is that because they only had 1 practice session they didn't have enough time on high fuel to properly gauge how much wear a fully loaded car would put on the plank at this circuit.

The reason Max wasn't streaking away this weekend - brake issues not included - is because the track is bumpy. If you raise the car's height small amounts to compensate you lose absolute tons of downforce because they're ground effect cars. They had to raise it considerably in Singapore and we all saw what happened there.
Most teams have obviously compensated for the lack of running by being conservative, and some haven't.

Because why would they - in the grand scheme of things you're not missing out in much this season for trying it and getting dsq'd, and if it had worked, it was the best chance to take a win this season

Well, if Merc didn't want to get DQ'ed maybe they should not have cheated. Simple.

weird how this wasn't one of those times where the rules were infringed, but no penalty was needed, BUT THE NEXT TIME ANOTHER COMPETITOR DOES THIS IT WILL BE PUNISHED!!1!!1!

wonder what that difference is between those other times and this.

Would be interesting to know what Sainz and Russell's plank wear was like, presumably the general car setups wouldn't be wildly different, though Hamilton was running a new spec floor.

Kind of pathetic seeing these attempts to beat Max by cheating. He’s got years of experience of getting away with it, and you think you can just blatantly start breaking the rules like him? Respect the craft.

It seems like “random” wasn’t the right word here. It’s more like they can check cars they have suspicions about.

Yeah, bear in mind they saw those sparks all race as clear as those pictures.

Usually series test the podium finishers or point scorers and then some randoms. There was a trend for a while in BTCC when ride heights were a big problem that people in the last point scoring place who weren't sure of themselves would let someone by, assuming one of them gets DQed and you get the place back.

I would think in theory Lewis and Charles should be disqualified from the sprint as well, since the car would have been illegal for that race.
