It's not bad luck. It is incompetence by FOM resulting in massive damage to a team. People hosting the race(FOM in this case) should be aware of these things and ensure than drain cover failures like these don't happen
FIA supervise that the track complies with the requirements. I think this one's on the FIA... (and they have precedents, so this could've been avoided).
But..... money.
It wasn't a drain cover though. If you put a shelf up onto a wall, and then when you load up the shelf the wall falls over. That's not on you.
Well the formula 1 article refers to it as a drain cover. It did look more like a cap but since I don't know the technical term, I went with what the official article referred to it as.
It is on you if you are the one who designed the shelf and decided to fix it at point of the wall without measuring if the wall could handle the load. It is different matter if you had a carpenter to build and install the shelf. In that it is his/her responsibility to ensure that the wall can handle a loaded shelf. In this case, since FOM are hosting the race, it is completely their responsibility that shit like this does not happen.
I see we already mind our mind on Wednesday here.

If you ask a a shelf building company to build you a shelf. You tell them the expected weight of items stored will be pretty extreme. Then the shelf fails from extreme weight.

And there's the issue a lot of you are willingly ignoring. That seal could have been rated for 1000 whatever units, but put in under 1001 units with cars scraping over the top. Of course it'll fail.
