A time penalty was not needed IMO.
Wasnt Marcus' car actually below the minimum required weight? As I recall they were damned lucky to get away with that citing lost body parts en route (namely his rear bumper)
I was SO annoyed when I heard about the time penalty.. Just Ford's luck to get such a hefty penalty over 0.5mm! Like some have said rules is rules but would Mr. Wilson really have known the windows were 3mm instead of 3.5mm? Maybe he's just put an order in for a set of homoligated windows assuming the company have the correct dimensions?
