So he claims Andrew Green, technical team chief Racing Point, who believes that sporting moves to curb copying of race cars are moving too far, although Racing Point has agreed in principle to the new measures.

"The explanations state that not only should you not reconstruct individual components, but also that it is forbidden to accept the concepts of others,”Is for colleagues from car engine and sport explained Green. "But the rules don’t say that. This is a misinterpretation. How can it be proven that you did not receive the concept of another car? Where does it start and where does it end? McLaren should therefore not use its new race car nose and front wing, which is also used by Mercedes. Did anyone complain about this copying? Is this only forbidden to Racing Point? If it were forbidden to accept other concepts, everyone would just stagnate and a good concept would always be better than the others. And that would run counter to what sport wants to achieve with the 2022 rules,He added Green.

So he says he will have to Racing Point change something in the future. “We will continue to observe other race cars and look for new ideas for our inspiration. If other teams say they don’t do it and that all the ideas are just theirs, then they are dreaming. Look at Renault, the entire front of their car is a copy of the Mercedes concept. And the teams that shout loudest, copy the most," Ends Green.
