When you come up with a solution mid race like that it gives you a real buzz and shows a little intelligence. Shame to get smacked due to a technicality.

Would it have been OK they'd stuck some tape over it?

Also, they came up with a fix to a part that was dictated to them.

It's against the rules to start the car without the bodywork and put the bodywork back on, then leave the pit. The car has to be shut off, bodywork added, and then restarted, hence the hole.

Stupid ruling from the dumbest, most short-sighted sanctioning body in all of motorsport.
