More people doing it would help, and it did not take them weeks to figure it out after the event, not in Brynildsens case either.

No, it doesn't take weeks in case of ONE car (few hours for that). But to check completely hundred of cars before the event would take weeks or You need a whole army of scrutineers. Where would You get them and who would pay that? Also can You imagine how happy would the teams be if You disassemble them engines and other important parts before start?

Maybe not but it's fact that in Mexico problems with in-tank pressure, which may even cause retirement, are common.

"During the rebuild, the valve on the fuel cell ventilation line was not checked.

Although this did not offer any competitive advantage, the team was excluded as the rules clearly state that technical conformity is their responsibility at all times."

Shame he wasn't driving a Citroen factory car- then he would have gotten off with a 1 minute penalty, at the worst :rolleyes:

Sir, You can't use statement of one side as a proof. Neither we nor stewards can judge if it was mistake or purpose. We can only see clear facts. Ventilation system affects pressure inside the cell. That's fact - it's fundamental function of it. High altitude and high temperatures in Mexico cause problems with pressure inside cell. That's also fact. If it was just a mistake, it's sad for Nasser but in Mexico ventilation of the cell is an important issue.

I think that whether it benefits or not, if it's out of the rules then should be penalized. For sure, it is a pity that Nasser was excluded after a great rally he did, but I think that the rules are the rules.

It's just a shame that FIA won't apply the rules to the same one, as seen on Ogier's case.

Bobcat would have no reason to try and paint M-Sport in a good light now would he? :rotflmao:

Since you unfairly caught him "bobshallying", i don't think he'd dare. :s tare:

@ Barreis, i don't regard maxrally as a bad website. Being the voice of MSport, i find it to be rather neutral and informative but that's just me. :)
