I would imagine it having to do with Red Bull automating the signal from the wheel gun that the tire is secure, instead of the crew pushing the button on the gun, to confirm the nut is tight
Those guns have to run on compressed gas, but there are also a decent amount of electronic components and sensors on them... I just can't imagine RBR would think of throwing an electric motor in those guns... that would be fairly easy to catch
So with the talk of the sensors, and the clarification the FIA have made on how long they expect each action (crew inspecting the nut, signaling the nut is secure, and dropping the jack) to take... it makes sense that automating a sensor to signal the tire is secure could save a few tenths of a second
Hell, it's kind of brilliant
Just my take

I don't like that there wasn't a couple of incidents to spark this action. If a few cars were sent out with issues I get this directive.
The rule is sort of the rule here so if RBR isn't using an automation then they are clear.
People knew Brady was deflating balls or Belichick was recording practices before the final incidents. Those in the know weren't hurt before then though.
These comments and prodding are proof that Merc has been sitting on a lot of info and not bringing it up because they felt their position is secure.
It really is. I like it.

quote:it also increases safety as the car cannot be released with a loose wheel nut. This shouldn't be restricted it should be mandatory
