Also includes a suspended 25 championship points penalty for Campos.
Full document:
During the hearing, the Team Manager explained that the person concerned, who was a team guest, had inadvertently taken the wrong type of headset.
The Stewards noted that the team guest had been approached by a Scrutineer and informed that the headset was not permitted as it was fitted with a microphone.
The Scrutineer was advised in response that the microphone was folded upwards.
Despite having been specifically advised that the headset was not permitted, the team quest subsequently put the headset back on and continued to use it.
😬
Yeah, thought it was an outrageous penalty until I read that. Fuck that guest, and fuck the team for hosting that guest and not intervening.
I don’t get why it’s so strongly permitted for a guest to wear a microphone. I mean if anything it’s a disadvantage for the team if someone is randomly yapping on the radio
My assumption is that they don’t want anyone outside of the team providing any information and enabling cheating.
