Following criticism of the disqualification of both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc from last weekend’s United States Grand Prix, the
of scrutineering is constantly evolving and being refined to ensure the integrity of the sport. The FIA’s random checks on different areas of the cars are carried out to ensure compliance with the regulations. Due to time constraints, not all cars can be fully inspected after a race, but the FIA believes that the possibility of random selection and the consequences of disqualification act as a strong deterrent. Since 2021, the FIA has been able to conduct more rigorous examinations, including deep dives into internal components. This process involves comparing physical components with CAD files provided by the teams and verifying team data. Overall, the FIA is continuously working to maintain the fairness and competitiveness of Formula 1 through the scrutineering process.
