You would probably need to prove their equipment to be faulty rather than your data being correct, and it would be post race in any case so not worth the effort. That's even if the teams are able to dispute this sort of thing. I think the teams have 3 laps or maybe 5 to dispute a drive through so realistically once its served the damage is done. Beyond binning the results of the weekend and doing it all again there is no way the teams and drivers could be compensated. IMO anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be feeding the driver accurate info.. My guess is they thought it was on a curve so they attempted to push the envelope and got stung for it.. Haven't read about any of the teams arguing the punishments.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also speed in the first half of the trap and then slow way down which is still speeding that you wouldn't get away with on the gun. The trap setup is the way to go but better equipment and more frequent timing points may work better.But I cannot argue that the lack of dispute from the teams appears to be an admission of guilt so you guys are probably right.
