V Bahrain these measures have entered into force for the first time and if it will depend on Nicholas Tombazis, heads of technical department FIA, these racing checks will take place a lot more often.
"The reason we opted for this process is that the race cars have become much more complex and difficult to completely disassemble,”Is Tombazis admitted in a conversation for colleagues from Motorsport.com. The new procedure selects random number race cars every racing weekend that will be FIA particularly carefully examined. V Bahrain they inspected the car Sergio Pereza in Yuki Tsunoda. In addition, they are at nine race cars checked oil consumption, oil samples were also taken from the race cars Max Verstappen in Lewis Hamilton.
"We will start doing this at every race. The car is divided into about twenty areas," so Tombazis. Of these twenty key areas only a few of these will be reviewed each racing weekend. “Each weekend, we will select two or three areas to take under our microscope." Tombazis otherwise he admits he can random selection triggers heated debates. “We want to have the random aspect that the car can be checked at any time. Theoretically, it could be that the same car is inspected five times as well."
"All teams will always suspect their biggest rivals. They’ll think Team X or Y is doing these and other things, and I’m sure in some cases things happened under our radar,”He concluded Tombazis.
