Quite the story………….

A quick reminder mate . Rao fixed that too with the slogan : Safety above all !

Great job from the Mercedes FIA mole

We do not know the identity. And it's speculation or innuendo to claim that it's Rao: no proof.

I don't assume anything. What I'm saying is that Ben Sulayem's reaction is blasé and to me it looks like he's not making it a high priority.

Very likely, more people than we may think have access to internal info. Let's not forget that, due to the intricate complexity of the cost cap analysis, FIA also relied on external advisors. Ben Sulayem is not supposed to tell the press: "OK, we found the leak: it was Johnny/Jenny working at [organization name]. The situation has been taken care of internally regarding that person".

Yes, a large number of people might have that information. Doesn't change the situation though: someone has leaked. Someone broke his/hers confidentiality clause of their contract.
I don't expect Ben Sulayem to say who has leaked, and I'm not saying that anywhere. You don't have to explain that to me.

But what I do expect Ben Sulayem to say is that they take the matter very seriously and go to the bottom of it. But he's not even saying that. He's basically saying "oh well it happens all the time". And that breeds conformation bias. I expect a head of a large governing organisation like the FIA to give a more serious reaction on a matter like this.
And this is not comparable to 'pictures of a new model leaked by some photographer', this is leaking confidential information to a competing team that tries to shame competitors in the media. This is leaked because someone isn't impartial and can't be trusted.

the 2023 China GP got cancelled due to Covid. It's going to be held in Portugal.

Personally for me a GP in China is something of a moral issue (due to how China surpresses certain parts of it's people), so I probably wouldn't watch it (just like I didn't watch any of the 2022 winter olympics).

at least they do it to their own people

in other places people sail in from another continent and destroy the native people and bring in chained servants and set things up such that they struggle to prosper

FIFA World Cup has similar issues

Is this engineer of the year, or applied female engineer of the year? The way it reads as though it's an award with a specific qualification??

Hannah Schmitz is the Principal Strategy Engineer at @redbullracing.
As far as I know and I can see : Hannah Schmitz is female (she has boobs)

Think we are speaking about the strategy engineer category .

Let me help you :

Just was reading the McLaren tweet. It says she is the winner of the first "McLaren Applied Female Engineer of The Year Award". Seems odd that the awarding org would qualify it as such, and then for another statement to say that she is the first female to win the award. If the award is only for women, then just state she's the first winner of the award.

She is deserving of all accolades she gets.

Perhaps It's because Hannah is the first "female" strategy engineer award winner .
And this year , the award winner was presented by McLaren.

Yeah . One thing is for sure , she did a great job @RedBull .

She made it possible that MAX could win some races coming from a very bad position .
That's why MAX said : We are very grateful to have Hannah @Red Bull .
