Formula E team caught using RFID scanner that could take live tire data from other cars

The stewards were advised by the technical representative that the competitor had installed RFID scanning equipment at the pit lane entry this morning which was able to collect live data from all cars. First, it is generally prohibited for competitors to set up or place any equipment in the pit lane. Secondly, collecting data by this method gives a lot of information to the competitor, which is a huge and unfair advantage. Taking all the circumstances, the managers feel that the penalty awarded is fair.
