My take was that the car didn't fail scruitineerings static load test for flexibility, and therefore was fair game?
The silly party here is the FIA/ACO for writing rules which they then don't enforce through scruitineering, because they set the precedent. Scruitineering is there to enforce the regulations, so if there's something on a car against regs which you don't test for, tough.
It's fair to 'ban' such a system onwards but a retrospective penalty because they were to stupid to actually back up the paperwork with process would plain lunancy
