He goes into some detail about why the decision was made and provides some interesting insights into the decision process. Worth a read to have all the facts before making a decision. |
I don't agree with his assessment of why FIA didn't disclose what Ferrari did and how they did. It wasn't because Ferrari wanted to protect intellectual property. I am willing to bet the other teams know exactly what Ferrari were doing and a good idea how. That is why they called them out and asked FIA to step in. A company like Merc can't be caught cheating enviromental sporting regulations. German authorities just finished throwing the book at VW execs. Merc doesn't need them looking at their company with a fine tooth comb. If they cheat in F1 environmental regs, why wouldn't they cheat with the cars they sell as well.
