      I think you’re allowed to repair/swap components as long as they’re identical spec. No setup changes, but they should be able to put in a new one.

          Doesn’t read like it to me

            Looks like approval was needed and granted

              I don’t understand how or why approval would’ve been needed, unless Red Bull asked just to be safe?

              The damage should’ve been covered under normally allowed repairs during parc ferme rules:

                I’ll agree g iii could fit. If it was an out lap, or if he went into the pits at the end of the lap, the time wouldn’t have been deleted, and although time was lost, was it “significant”?

                And 40.3 specifies for repairs not covered in 40.2. So no harm in asking anyway, certainly better than a DQ.

                  The day I understand the FiA will be the day I know I’ve lost it.

                  You’re definitely right that there’s no harm in asking compared to a DQ.

        No, actually. After the post-qualification inspections, teams can replace damaged parts like-for-like with parts that are undamaged.

          RBR does not have an identical floor as far as they have said before the weekend. They only have this one.

        No, they have 3,5 hours to repair it.

        After the qualifying session ends on Saturday night, there will be a period of three and a half hours when the team are allowed to inspect, repair, and ensure that the racing cars are prepared for the upcoming race.

        Damage is often allowed to be repaired without breaking parc ferme. I just don’t know the limits.
