Merc does stand out however, at least with the incomplete numbers.
The checks appear to be really random because it's sometimes one car and in Baku they checked 10 (!).
Afaik it always goes to the stewards when a car does not set a time but it's a formality and no sign of any protest from another team ... that particular issue was discussed earlier in the thread.
It's quite far fetched to believe it's some sort of Merc influence on the FIA
The FIA aren't fans of the Spaniards, eh?
