From the steward’s judgement into the DQ of Ricciardo in Singapore:

“Notwithstanding the team’s arguments, the Stewards take note of the very clear wording of Article 1.2.2 ISC, which states that “If an Automobile is found not to comply with the applicable technical regulations, it shall be no defense to claim that no performance advantage was obtained” file:///C:/Users/Claire/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/IE/6BXBQ32G/doc_30_-_2019_singapore_grand_prix_-_offence_-_car_3_mgu-k_power_limit_0.pdf

Article 1.2.2 of the ISC reads as follows:

ARTICLE 1.2 INTERNATIONAL SPORTING CODE
1.2.1 So that the above powers may be exercised in a fair and equitable manner the FIA has drawn up the International Sporting Code, which includes all appendices thereto.

1.2.2 The purpose of the Code is to regulate, encourage and facilitate motor sport.

1.2.3 It will never be enforced so as to prevent or impede a Competition or the participation of a Competitor, save where the FIA concludes that this is necessary for the safe, fair or orderly conduct of motor sport.
