Yeah, this is the tricky bit - but they have sooooo much data you'd hope those in the know would be able to set a threshold for something like this. Perhaps any impact higher than say 20g is needed before you even start to argue your case. F1 loves precise and random rules so doubt this is beyond them. Hard to game it too much that way - we've seen what happens when you crash on purpose.
How would you invigilate the engineers assessing the damage though?
Power unit been run in qualifying trim a bit too much? Oh, it's been damaged when the car nosed into the barriers, whoops, better fit a new one.
