Yes, what's your point?
That the rule having no flexibility is stupid. It is obvious from the videos that Norris jumped the start but because the rules are based purely on the signals from the transponder, he has escaped punishment.
So instead they should make up a rule on the spot that wasn't in the rules previously to punish them
I am not saying lando should be punished. I am saying that the rule should be reviewed and updated for the future to handle cases technology cannot/ fails to handle.
Then you end up with unfeasible rulebooks that cover every minute detail. And then something unexpected pops in, because of course it always does.
The reality of it is - false starts are rare. A broken transponder is rare. Getting both are very unlikely, and ultimately on the ones making them instead of the team.
