*Ducted*They have been docked 15 points, not 7.5. It clearly says "7.5 points per car"
At least they didn't get "a private agreement with FIA for almost a full season with a murky (illegal now) part" way out of itHow many extra points did they win while copying/cheating?
Doesn't seem enough to me.
I hope the force on the tyre is stronger this time.If tyres don't go pop this time, there is a fair chance of the least exciting race of the season.
So they have used same brake ducts in 4 races. Protests for 3 races are upheld and their points are taken for only 1 race. Okay, this is 100% F1 decision, looks fine and in line with their usual decisions.
In the previous season RP claimed against Renault, so shots were fired first there. Renault responded and upheld because they have much more backing power via the company.Renault being massive karens as usual. Even without them brake ducts Renault wont beat them.
I understand that point of view, but that is also on them as it is explained in report: they had a chance at start of this year, before pre-season tests, when FIA was visiting factory to ask them and to clear up anything about their planned approach to brake ducts. They didn't.It wouldn't be fair and reasonable to RP given current times that they'd have to develop a new system from scratch within 1 raceweekend via the triple headers F1 currently holds. So given that atleast one factory development week when there's no ongoing preperations is rather fair considering that you have to consider the safety and cost aspect. For them it was pending, so while it was pending it'd have been wise to start developing a new one back then either for case A imidiate replacement or case B later in the current season or next season (given that 2021 holds a cap in development from 2020 so cars are to remain relatively frozen in further development to bring down costs as sanctioned by FIA).
cheap investment thenThat last sentence.. Got F1 fever?....
Than you should get yourself tested.
But for a car that is almost a carbon copy of the Merc of last year only a 400.000 fine and some points.
Ain't such a bad deal, designing your own car costs way more.
