[Luke Smith] “Otmar Szafnauer tells Sky that Racing Point wrote to the FIA asking if Renault’s brake bias gadget used to be true as it wished to utilize a the same version. Used to be told it used to be now now not, so then lodged the voice”

Easy defence.

Ted is doing a segment on it the following day where I suspect we’ll know extra. He’s already acknowledged that engineers up and down the paddock truly feel Renault own been exhausting done by right here. Looks (to me) from what’s readily accessible for the time being, Racing point own weaponised the easy job and sat on it for just a few months except it brought them essentially the most fabricate with minimal races left on the calendar.

Drivers own been driving “aided” since glorious grand 1985 (quote Ted), whether or now now not radio, tire and brake temp and so forth, and so forth. But appears as if no person used to be fussed with a brake balance gadget all season or then again lengthy (seeing as engineers knew about it up and down paddock and weren’t to reproduction it) but now former to fabricate a build in the WCC standings.

The reality it used to be brought up to FIA requires a “intent of the aided driving” rule definition and due to the this reality falls beneath a “wearing reg” now now not a technical one.
