From what I've seen on the ground, getting every manufacturer to agree to crack open sealed engines is genuinely rare. For Pedro, who'd been racing with a fault he couldn't fully trust the feel of his throttle around, honestly this feels overdue.

For Acosta's safety this should've been approved sooner.

It needed all-manufacturer agreement so there's a limit to how fast it could move.

IRTA supervising the reseal shows how serious this actually is.

Only acting after the Barcelona crash feels way too slow.

Feels unfair that only Aprilia got approved first.
