"The German anthem gets played simply because of monetary holdings. They are not a German team. The team is a fully British endeavor. Brixworth are responsible for powertrains and trace their roots back to Ilmor a fully British operation. Brackley on the chassis side traces its roots back to BAR (British American Racing) another entirely British endeavor. Calling Mercedes a German team would be as stupidly inaccurate and incorrect as calling Red Bull an Austrian team - obviously neither are correct descriptors which pertain only to monetary holdings in brand ownerships"

"Youve somehow utterly misunderstood the point as if you think this a comparison game. Thats not the point of the conversation although theyre also not very comparable either.

"Cheating how Thats nonsense. They almost certainly found a way to modulate fuel flow between testing sample rates in order to pass the fuel flow measurement metrics yet achieve their goals of accessing more fuel. A very clever trick. This is absolutely unequivocally the exact same thing as creating a chamber volume that meets the measurement requirements for compression ratio testing but alters its volume characteristics when under load/heat in order to increase compression ratio beyond the stated limits while still passing the testing method. These are utterly and completely the same thing."

"Thanks for the reply Mark. Although youd have more insider understanding than I do Ive always heard the general consensus as to what Ferrari were actually doing was modulating fuel flow rates to bypass moments of monitoring in the sample rate of the sensor. In other words adhering to the result of the testing methodology while finding a way to achieve an alternate outcome in practice. Im having a hard time differentiating the two here. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020159076101972407 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020159076101972407"

That precedent has been firmly established over the last few years through skid block testing changes midseason floor measurement testing changes midseason wing deflection testing changes midseason The argument can be made that the regulation accommodates this trick theyve found but the argument that the testing methodology cant be changed to ensure compliance is flimsy to me given very recent precedents"

No team could or should have banked on the testing apparatus being done in a certain way as the only viable option because the testing methodology for variables can shift - as weve seen repeatedly in the last regulation cycle - in order to ensure compliance.

"It would appear that Ferrari have potentially found something in their PU design that helps them mitigate the start challenges others are facing. And them being against start procedure changes makes sense in that regard - its not as if the other teams were unaware of this design need nor was it a result of any grey area interpretation or change in the basic fundamental regs of race starts. And the cynic in me wonders how much of an intentional spectacle will be made of practice starts by teams in favor of this procedure changing. This is F1 testing/posturing after all. Full cynicism required."

"While I get your sentiment: The 499P project started officially in [----] (so really before then) and the operational running of the team was taken on by AF Corse who were already stalwarts in endurance and GT racing. It took an additional year for it to be successful and another for it to (hopefully) win a championship. So 3-4 years in a sport that is very different.

"Carlos was a specifically targeted hire and the personal project of Mattia Binotto. Charles Leclerc was a leftover Arrivabene inheritance for Binotto. This was exceedingly clear at the time and got more clear as time progressed. There was never a connection or respect for Charles from Mattia. The feeling became mutual. It required asserting some political influence from Charles to change the situation. And regardless of the mistakes made on the [----] car the team is significantly better under Vasseur than it was under Binotto"

"Did they though I think theres plenty of argument that during the turbo hybrid era of 2014-2021 there were several instances where Mercedes did NOT have the best chassis but had PU in spades to make up for that. In fact I dont think thats even difficult to argue at all. They were able to even compromise setups and scrap run plans (keeping the drivers on the same tyre in FP sessions so nobody had an advantage) during the Hamilton/Rosberg battles because they had such an advantage over the field on the PU it didnt matter at all. One could argue that the last time they really nailed chassis was"
