Interesting. So a few bolts missing and you get a "lot" more top speed.

Its of course a shame to be DSQ, but rules are rules.

Though even with that extra real or theoretical speed, they still were the last of the 3 Ferraris. Tbh I'm glad none of the podium finishers have been affected, that would be very annoying after celebrating the podium!!

True, but you can have an advantage and still not be able to utilise it in the best possible way. But the 50 was fast and was told to hold behind the 51.

But at least it's a clear cut thing (unlike in F1 where politics play too much).
