Last race of 2019 scrutineer checks carried out
P1 and P2..
Well done you can use the internet and copy pasta.P1 and P2..
How do think these FIA checks were done, with a tape measure and a dip stick and rule of eye..
Remember Seb burning up the mobile weighbridge.. you don’t do that unless your ‘ahem’ underweight’
Renault ‘emp’ the two cars in Bahrain last yr, so far underweight, can’t finish the race and be DQ..
Merc oil burning for 5 yrs, Ferrari using 115kg of fuel For the last 2 yrs..
No one can catch you unless you slip up or are grassed up.
Anyway said enough..

The profile of the in Article 3.3.1 of the 2019 Formula One Technical Regulations prescribed front
wing section was checked on car numbers 11 and 26.
The minimum distance between the adjacent rear wing sections at any longitudinal vertical plane was
checked on car numbers 11 and 26.
It was confirmed for car numbers 11 and 26 that any vertical cross section of bodywork normal to
the car centre line and situated in the volumes defined in Article 3.5.7 form one tangent continuous
curve on its external surface with a radius no less than 75mm.
The concave radius of sections of the two rear wing elements which are in contact with the external
air stream was checked on car numbers 11 and 26.
The front and rear brake air duct dimensions were checked on car numbers 11 and 26.
The engine high rev limit bands were checked on all cars.
The plenum temperature was checked on all cars.
The IVT code and calibration checksums were checked on all cars.
The IVT temperatures were checked on all cars.
The ES state of charge on-track limits were checked on all cars.
The lap energy release and recovery limits were checked on all cars.
The MGU-K power limits were checked on all cars.
The maximum MGU-K speed was checked on all cars.
The maximum MGU-K torque was checked on all cars.

The race start data of all cars have been checked.
Single clutch paddle use for the race start has been checked on all cars.
The MGU-K use at the race start was checked on all cars.
It was checked on all cars that the ES was not charged while the car was stationary in the pits.
It was checked that no car exceeded 80 km/h when leaving the formation grid prior to the start of the
race.
It was verified on all cars that the MD5 checksum of the PCU8 (dash board display) used on the car
matched the configuration lodged with the FiA prior to the qualifying session.
Fuel flow meter calibration checksums were checked on all cars.
The instantaneous fuel mass flow of all cars was checked.
The fuel temperature of all cars was checked.
The total fuel mass consumed by all cars during the race was checked.
A fuel sample was taken from car number 44.
The fuel samples have been checked for density and analysed by gas chromatography.
The results of all the fuel analyses show that the fuels were the same as ones, which had been
approved for use by the relevant competitors prior to the Event.
Further the density change of the fuel samples taken today was within the permitted limits.
An engine oil sample was taken from car number 44.
The engine oil samples have been analysed by FTIR spectroscopy and viscometry.
The results of the FTIR analyses show that the sampled oils were consistent with reference engine
oil samples which had been approved for use by the relevant competitors prior to the Event.
All car weights and the items checked were found to be in conformity with the 2019 FIA Formula One
Technical Regulations.

Nope, i think the point has been made about how many scrutineering checks are done during a GP. It's not all self assessment as suggested.On your basis Jo Bauer has a lot of tests (50+ on every car between sessions)..

Personally I hate the idea but I can well imagine FOM looking to do something similar for F1.
Fantastic idea, just imagine if you had, say, Rylan and Stacey Solomon reacting to the race events, how good would that be!Personally I hate the idea but I can well imagine FOM looking to do something similar for F1.

By self as been the rule the last few yrs, teams use the weighbridge, and any seals that need ‘reviewing’ can be done by distance.
since when? removing the scrutineers would easily enable teams to break parc ferme conditions as well as a whole host of other rules as and when they like. Most checks now are self served and be under/over weight then it’s your problem, they all have a time slot to check the weight of the car.
The FIA have been more like ‘referee’ for the last few years, rather than last bastain of scrutiny.
In the (hopefully) temporary environment there’s no room to break Parc Ferme, with hours etc, if anything it will become more self policing.
So yes, referee stuff, but would mean playing without one for the season.

It's quite telling that from next year they have raised the car minimum weight for the sole reason of additional sensors, theres a conscious awareness that teams are somewhat bending the rules.

I seem to remember last year (or the yr before), that some one cracked a rear wing in Quali and it was found on the Sunday morning, and they did not have an exact spare, so the penalty was a pit lane start. I can only assume that they will plaster the car parts with unique holographed/QR no tamper stickers for parc ferme, as thing can look and measure the same but not be.

The teams have always bent the rules.It's quite telling that from next year they have raised the car minimum weight for the sole reason of additional sensors, theres a conscious awareness that teams are somewhat bending the rules.
They do/did what ever they can get away with.
The more sensors or test equipment available to the scrutineers, the more bending the rules will be stopped.
Motorsport has always been full of cheating, even in Cadet Karts. It’s a cat and mouse game between competitors and the sport’s administrators.

Oh god.. Not him again. I think you'll struggle to find anyone influential in the sport today that welcomes his opinion, especially if broadcast live.Piers Morgan keeps getting his opinions broadcast, on every single subject under the sun

Little wonder most people prefer the straight forward rules of football.

That's the issue with Alonso. Pay him to drive your car, he'll announce to the globe that its a POS. Also the engine is a POS - and it's all the fault of the team, who didn't listen to him and don't know what they're doing. Popular guy....!

Alonso probably had a point on the engine, but airing it in such a way is a big no-no.
Prost was sacked by Ferrari for a similar public outburst. He probably didn't fancy 5 years trying to develop that dog into a contender

They didn’t have an exact spare or thought running a different spec was worth the pitlane start? I don’t buy the story as presented, no way that damage would go undetected for a start - either visually or via sensor data. The only way it wouldn't be an exact spare was if it was a development part. It's quite telling that from next year they have raised the car minimum weight for the sole reason of additional sensors, theres a conscious awareness that teams are somewhat bending the rules.
For a very long time now, the car must start the race with the exact same setup as it finished quali. Putting extra stickers on parts with adjustable elements does nothing to police that. It’s absolutely fundamental to the rules as they stand to have garage scrutineers. Unless the rules are revised/waived this season there’s no way around it.
Personally I think the main issue this season will be lower teams running out of parts as trips into the barriers take their toll. Looking at you, Haas drivers!
NB - extra sensor data is meaningless if no one checks it, which they won’t unless the competition dobs the ‘rule bending’ team in accompanied by a best guess at what’s going on and what the FIA should look for.
