In Singapore last weekend, Kevin Magnussen was shown the black-and-orange flag after damaging a front endplate in early contact with Max Verstappen.
After the second instance, the team tried to demonstrate to members of the FIA technical department that a loose endplate would still be retained and was thus not a hazard, hoping that the message would get to the race directors in case there was another such situation. "But in Hungary, we had the same scenario. It was very, very similar, the breakage, to Hungary, and we showed that to the FIA. In Hungary, we had our head of composites, and he explained what is happening, what cannot happen, and what can happen.
"We showed in Hungary that you can stand on the part and it doesn't fall off. It maybe flaps around and then we bring him in because we lose performance, but like this, it doesn't fall off.
FIA is a joke

Steiner: FIA decisions over damaged F1 endplates "getting old"Steiner says the FIA's decisions about his cars' damaged endplates are 'getting old' after getting a black-and-orange flag for the third time. 'We need to have people who understand how these cars are built. We are not in the eighties anymore.' Man is more pissed at stewards than on Magnussen who keeps damaging his front wing on every lap 1. Isnt it to prevent it flying off then potentially being a puncture hazard? Fair enough to get called in, imo Pra ele é mais fácil criticar a FIA do que criticar o Magnussen , se fosse o Mick a cometer esses erros a conversa era outra 😠😠
