I don’t understand how or why approval would’ve been needed, unless Red Bull asked just to be safe?
The damage should’ve been covered under normally allowed repairs during parc ferme rules:
I’ll agree g iii could fit. If it was an out lap, or if he went into the pits at the end of the lap, the time wouldn’t have been deleted, and although time was lost, was it “significant”?
And 40.3 specifies for repairs not covered in 40.2. So no harm in asking anyway, certainly better than a DQ.
The day I understand the FiA will be the day I know I’ve lost it.
You’re definitely right that there’s no harm in asking compared to a DQ.
