    It's already discussed in this thread, search and find.

    edit: Given there is not official statement from the team about this, I think there is nothing more to say about it.

The decision can be seen as a dangerous precedent. Will other teams also leave service with unfinished cars to save themselves from time penalties? I hope not.
    Mirek, I agree with you. Haven't there been severe penalties in the past for minor 'indiscretions' in respect of car compliance ( i.e ... A rock in the spare wheel well, under weight/over thin windscreens) ?

    Paddon was delayed trying to fix a broken ARB, stefanvv is delusional and thinks it was a conspiracy to change his road position by one place.

    Even if they did it in purpose it would be legal (he was penalized for that) and definitely not the first time such thing happened.

    In the case with Neuville, but also in Sardinia last year, I'm wondering why the penalties for such things are not fixed. Shouldn't there be some published list of possible violations and penalties associated with it? The FIA doesn't seem to be always correct/consequent with penalties.

    Another point is that a car without mirrors is not road-legal, i.e. it is similar violation as driving on three wheels on public roads. It may be harsh but IMO car which is not legal shall not be allowed to leave service park.
