We too were told our bumpers had to be secured with aluminum angle on midday Fri. Although we politely (but rather doggedly) explained our belief that the rules implied this was a recommendation rather than mandatory, Friday night the team stayed late in the pit getting the work done. The fix was simple but the necessity was questioned.
