petitioned for a just cause
But this is stupid. Plenty of sports strip winners of those wins if they are found to be cheating.I don’t think that retrospective point penalties would be good for the sport. I know that it probably makes sense to do that from a competitive point of view but it would be a foolish decision for f1 to change results now all these months down the line
Doping a classic example. Not quite the same but agree with the post above that it’s a decent comparator.
The FIA are going to not want to rock the boat much so they’ll probably find a way to make this go away. But, actually, if RB have indeed breached it significantly, I personally can’t see many disadvantages here of taking serious action which changes last years results. It fixes a wrong, it immediately solidifies the integrity of the sport, it acts as a significant deterrent to other teams, all which they would give up for what? Not changing a result? Not upsetting the new influx of orange fans? And not upsetting red bull? To me there are more benefits of coming down hard, than not, if indeed it’s as bad as rumoured. If this somehow goes away, it doubles down on all the issues that the end of last season already created.
