Is this caused by the cost cap?
We have seen this before from other teams when new upgraded parts are introduced at quite short notice. These are flyaway races, so perhaps understandable, although of course not ideal.

The bigger issue is the wheel nut problems which keep causing lengthy delays during the pitstops, which makes the potential 0.05 seconds per lap from any new upgraded lightweight left hand flange adapter rather redundant.
