You would also have to prove intent, instead of negligence

The FIA isn't a government or a local judiciary, they don't work like that.

You are the poster that brought up intent as a way of getting to Max. And the FIA is the governing body of F1. Just because it's over motorsport doesn't mean it doesn't have rules and laws.

The level of proof and stinginecy of the rules aren't anywhere close to what they are in criminal trials.

Take schumacher for example, 2 title deciding collisons, Both times it was deemed a racing incident. However for the second one, 2 weeks after the fact Mosley decided a disciplinary hearing was needed, and threw schumacher out of the championship.

Thus as you can see the FIA has its own standards and they aren't always what people think they should be.

I’m sat here watching this.

Mercedes May just take this however they may try and push this to the arbitration for sport and try and deal with it post race using tampered with evidence as a reasoning. That doesn’t require anything more than reasonable doubt to come into effect. It’s why evidence of any crime uses sealed bags, photo’s, chain of custody, etc ANY doubt and it’s inadmissible.
They may fail in that attempt but Verstappen has caused this grey area without his intervention is a slam dunk DQ

Max used his hand to measure the wing, obvious to see he is not moving and altering the DRS.

Just like, my wing is pinky to index, Mercedes wing is pinky to few mm of thumb also.

Is there any real evidence of this, or is it just a fellow-countryman-biased assumption after watching a grainy social media video? Honest question.
Human history is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.

I am curious to know how redbull did measure this 0.5 mm gap of hamilton flap under specific moving circumstances, in order to prepare the clarification papers given to fia

Thats pure speculation on your part. The video is grainy as hell when trying to get a closer look.
I’ll say it again. There is a very good reason why nobody is allowed to touch evidence at all. ‘I only used my hand to measure’ wouldn’t cut it as an excuse because it still creates reasonable doubt. Verstappen had no business touching it at all and he has created any leverage Mercedes now possibly has.

With the rules on movable aero devices and the tests on rear wings in mind, I find it difficult to understand how simply touching would result in any measurable change.

Well something has stopped Car No 44 being banged to rights last night. It’s also caused Verstappen being called to the stewards.

It probably didn’t but has been said above, Max’s actions have now bought an element of doubt into the equation which is an angle I’m sure Mercedes will be trying to work.

It’s a lesson Verstappen will learn after this and he’ll be better for it. 👍

I’m sure they will but it is a silly defense and easy to dispute. On the other hand, the FIA has proven to do anything to save the championship.
