O Renault's disqualification at the Grand Prix of Japan, sparrows are now chirping on the roofs, the French are all together apparently already reconciled and they won’t file an objection, but a lot has happened since the team signed up Racing Point seemed shrouded in a veil of secrecy, as the onboard footage from Suzuka did not reveal anything forbidden. Contrary to the publicly available video from the official Formula 1 YouTube channel, which has been viewed by 1,4 million people since February.
Apparently the matter is around where the team is supposed to be from Racing Point got a hint za cheating Renault with brake system, now clear. She didn't give a hint "fled”Engineer, but is for disqualification of Renault from the race in Japan took care of the said supposedly harmless YouTube video video. This is stated by colleagues from car engine and sport.
The video from Barcelona in itself is nothing special, nor did Ricciardo make any effort to set a good time, but it is evident that he consumes six systems on the steering wheel while driving, namely two steering wheel levers for clutch, two for shifting, speed limiter in boxes in radio connection, indicated by a red light on the right side of the LCD screen.
There is also a value on the LCD screen itself Brake balance (brake power distribution) which is in the basic position 0 and varies from -1,0% to + 3,0% while driving, with no visible at any time Ricciardo would have influenced himself in any way to change the settings. Ob detailed view the clip catches the eye to run over the circle to the top left of the screen changes the displayed value brake power distribution without Ricciardo had to press a button.
In the reasoning of the judgment FIA ombudsmen it was initially said that decisive hint or the information was given by an engineer who is from Renault joined the team Racing Point. This was initially suspected by the Renault team. On their grief however, it led to disqualification On-Board camera video, which the team filmed during winter testing and posted on YouTube, where see their trick with automatic braking system.
Only when he is Sergio Perez in the event of a collision with Nico Hülkenberg at the race in Silverstone broke the switch to distribute the braking power, the team’s engineers Racing Point remember this video on YouTube. So they developed own concept of such a system, report colleagues from auto motor uns sport. This concept was then sent to the FIA technical delegate Nicholas Tombazisto assess its compliance with the policy. When they got the answer to this one the system is not legal, they got the idea that gather evidence against Renault by the race on Japan served by the FIA ombudsman.
The rest of the story is known and much has been written and said about her. It's the FIA Renault ruled out from a race at Suzuki, and the French team declined to appeal the verdict.
