So everyone's in agreement the track is a problem, but the DQs still stand? Make it make sense F1...
Car was not within the rules, car gets DQd. Makes a lot of sense in my opinion.
Every track has its quirks, the teams are instructed to figure out to make the fastest car WITHIN the rules. It’s not like they didn’t know it was bumpy, they figured that out first lap in FP1, every other team did as well. Most of the teams raised height to make sure they complied with rules, Merc and Ferrari either didn’t or didn’t enough
It was the same track for everyone, they had a (single) practice session to identify issues and set ride height accordingly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
