Without exaggeration we can say that in Formula 1 government war, in which he also found himself at the center Mercedes. The stumbling block, however, is according to the teams Ferrari, McLaren, Renault in Williams received a penalty for the team Racing Point, a copy of last year Mercedesa.
Mentioned and enraged protesters are outraged because the process of shaping the latter brake channels race car RP20 declared illegal, however, the team may proceed with it. But FIA at least confirmed that there was movement data and parts with Mercedes in Racing Point. That made me happy too Andreas Seidl, team boss McLaren. "The important thing is that the fairy tale was finally cleared up, that someone had a vision, bought a big camera and then made a race car based on the photos, with which he can fight for the podium,”So Bavarian for colleagues from Sky.
The most explosive thing here is that Seidl by doing so, he does not accuse only responsible people of lying Racing Point around Otmar Szafnauer, but also indirectly Tota Wolff, team boss Mercedes. But the Austrian continues to insist on the version 3D cameras and special spying technologies. “If you connect this camera to a computer, you can see all the shapes. Technology exists and it cannot be banned. Each team has its own spy photographer positioned in front of the competitor’s garage. With the task of photographing every little detail of the car.“Despite the fact that it definitely exists (taking photos of the competition to order), the competitors Wolff's they do not accept the explanation and tactics of concealment. The sound is getting louder oster, the matter is even transferred to personal level. Zak Brown, first husband McLaren, described this interpretation as "Bullshit”And warned:“Now we also have to question this car completely."
All against Wolff and the "sinners"
In fact, it is Mercedes found next to these debates, allegations and disputes around pink copies last year’s silver arrows. But that is not enough, they continue to add fuel to the fire themselves. Wolff is about opponents Mercedesa said nervously: "I think we should be more humble and admit that someone did a good job.”With colleagues from Sky is a Viennese with a verbal a blow under the belt took care of misunderstanding and outrage. He said it was forming "small group"Rebels"who want to tighten the collar of Racing Point“. And then another followed poison arrowrelating to a 'small group': "Small in every way."
But that is not enough. Team boss Mercedes is in its own #Copygate also dragged the team Haas. "In 2015, we had an example with the Haas team, which then got the entire race car from Ferrari. There was no part to design themselves. Everything was made at Ferrari. They took advantage of a hole in the policy because they were not enrolled in the championship. And they put a race car on the track that was very competitive because it was a replica of a Ferrari."It simply came to our notice then Gunther Steiner, team boss Haas in Wolff's marks the allegations as "total bullshit".
South Tyrol says: “We always used only what we could legally buy. On the one hand, giving someone the brake channels and then saying that someone else used the entire race car is already extreme. I believe this is a bad conscience. It seems to me that Toto is pushed against the wall. And now he’s trying to distract with other things.”Finally, we can add that the atmosphere was in paddock Formula 1 already better. And anger legally driving participants it is no longer directed only against Racing Point, but now also against Mercedes.
