Both the W14 and SF-23 had planks that were below the minimum thickness of 9mm, prompting the FIA to check another two cars – Max Verstappen and Lando Norris’ cars – which were legal.But with Hamilton declaring he’d heard from sources that other cars were also illegal, that backed up a few of hisHowever, Goss says even if they did have a second team to conduct the scrutineering, it would mean a huge delay in the race result being classified.
“If we had two crews doing that, then what we are looking at is five hours of work to check all the cars, after which you’d be reporting cars to the stewards. The reason for that was after Hamilton and Leclerc’s cars failed the post-race inspection, the FIA decided to check another two carss to determine whether it was the track or those specific cars.“The check takes a while. We found they were the wrong side of the regulations. That caused us some concern.
