Sauber got penalised I believe Ferrari have been penalised more than once, Honda got penalised for running that dodgey fuel system, Mclaren got penalised for underfueling Hamilton. I wish they would at least be consistent with punishments.
If you run an illegal car, you should be disqualified, simple as that.
On a lighter note, have RB settled on a single exhaust solution yet?
The slot was declared legal by FIA stewards at each race, so results cannot be retrospectively amended! Further, RBR had it in writing from FIA that all was ok. This is now just a clarification, as requested by Ferrari and others. All RBR need to do is to make a tiny slit to the outside, and the slot will be "legal".
Incidentally, FIA have not actually stated that the slot is illegal, only that it cannot be used in said form , in future.
And by the way, the Honda "dodgey fuel system" was a deliberate cheating installation of a second tank. Big difference!
