Could not have said it better myself.
If I see a car is modded so much that I'm surprised the guy got it to the cold pits without rolling it, and it's anything but an A driver (and I'll still give the A driver a once over), I'm asking things about goals and then dropping the "what's your tire pressure?, what'd you torque your lug bolts to? when'd you last check torque?" Assuming the driver can answer the questions w/o my BS detector going off, I'll then evaluate the warm up lap. As we are just past a worker station, I'll ask if the corner worker had a beard or mustache. Especially love doing that after going by a woman corner worker. Of course, if the safety equipment looks haphazard, all bets are off. I'm not getting de-nutted by a poorly fitted sub strap regardless if Lewis Hamilton is driving (especially not getting in if Verstappen or Grosjean is driving!).
