This sounds like a case of the rules being more important than common sense - but then we've established that already. Even as someone against the idea of customer cars, the FIA's handling of the matter seems crazy.

It's also a shame not to be up to a full compliment of 24 drivers for the coming season as at the moment there appears to be more drivers than cars available and some of the drivers are too good not to be racing next year.
