Unless it was a parts failure that happened on track, I believe, and you had a like for like that wasn’t
A parts failure without a cause can still result in a DQ. Remember Hamilton got DQ’ed from qualifying in Brazil 2021 even though merc claimed that his car became out of spec only after failure during qualifying.
Yup! That’s what I was thinking of. I’m almost certainly wrong but I was under the impression that they couldn’t prove it because they didn’t have a like for like DRS actuator mount, but that could’ve been the potential way out of the DQ if they had

I thought they were punished because they couldn’t prove that it was damaged in session and not before so the FIA had to assume that the drs actuator mount was beyond the specification specified by the regulations for the whole session.
