Michael Tower

In Formula 1, Williams faces scrutiny for a delay in providing footage of their wings after practice, not for rule-breaking.

The FIA uses cameras to monitor wings under real loads during free practice sessions, but teams can use components on the edge of legality during qualifying and races. Williams has not been found guilty of breaking technical regulations, but a delay in providing footage within the deadline could set a precedent for disregarding requirements in Formula 1.
