I think the moral of this story is that the FIA need to be much more thorough in their prerace scrutineering
I know we've heard that song many times before.May the forza be with you

This has happened many, many times before. The team gets something funny, Charlie gives green light, the team wins and then it is protested and banned, without affecting the opening rounds. It has happened to Renault, McLaren, Williams, Ferrari, etc. It is stupid to demand banning of Webber and even sillier to compare the situation with what happened to Lewis in Spain - when McLaren broke the rule, which was INVENTED because of them and Hamilton.

Did RBR specifically present the design to the FIA before the Monaco GP to confirm legality?“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti

The question is did they seek clarification after Bahrain, or Monaco?
The thing that seems odd is if you look at the Ferrari solution in the image I placed above. They have a hair thin cut to their scoops. I believe they did something like this for cooling vents in the recent past. I just don't see how much less effective their solution is.
BTW Horner is starting to get on my freakin’ nervesMay the forza be with you

"Hey , you can't wear that clown nose . You'll be funnier than us ."
"Nowhere does it say I can't wear this nose , so I will ."
"Can he wear that clown nose ? He'll be too funny . He was already too funny last show ."
"We told you all that your noses could be red , be we also said that they could not restrict the vision of the giant clown feet ."
"But , everyone can see our feet . They're huge !"
"But we meant that you should be able to see them ."
"If we put a slot in the nose , connected to the step plane of the upper surface of each nostril , so that a portion of the bodywork of the giant shoes are clearly viisible from above the nasal area , would that be ok ?"
