    Unless it was a parts failure that happened on track, I believe, and you had a like for like that wasn’t. It would be interesting to know by how much it was over, but almost certainly a DQ if that’s true

      A parts failure without a cause can still result in a DQ. Remember Hamilton got DQ’ed from qualifying in Brazil 2021 even though merc claimed that his car became out of spec only after failure during qualifying.

        Yup! That’s what I was thinking of. I’m almost certainly wrong but I was under the impression that they couldn’t prove it because they didn’t have a like for like DRS actuator mount, but that could’ve been the potential way out of the DQ if they had

        Like I said, probably wrong and misremembering
