Meanwhile, Ferrar always one to hold the moral high ground confirm they will press ahead with the appeal on the FIA RP penalty.

You could not make it up!

Mercedes and Racing Point just not yet ready to sign the new Concorde Agreement.

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/r...-work/4854239/

I expect they had issues before the FIA decision, but they can use their lack of signing as bargaining power in this current mess. You might point out that the rule issues is with the FIA while the agreement is with Liberty. But you know there is not a hard line between the two. They are partners in this entire "F1" thing.

Williams looking to extract a favor from Mercedes? McLaren maybe already received one? I know they both get engines from Mercedes and Mercedes may be twisting their arms. Given that McLaren is on the upswing, they have more to lose with a bad relationship with Mercedes. Williams however, maybe feel they have cards to play?

Not correct for an FIA World Championship. The stewards are FIA Stewards, appointed by the FIA and acting as the FIA with ultimate authority at the race meeting.

Your memory would be correct if it was a national level race meeting for example.

I expect Williams to withdraw their protest.

Let’s be honest, they can neither afford the time, money or resources to be taken up protesting something they won’t gain anything from.

McLaren have withdrawn their protest but Renault and Ferrari are to go ahead with theirs. I suspect RP will also go ahead but no news on Williams.

I could be wrong or things have changed and different now, but i also thought that in addition to the permanent stewards there are also a couple of stewards nationality appointed perhaps even with one having to be a national of the country hosting the race.

Either way though...the vagueness of the ruling suggests to me that the ones at the race, regardless ofwho appointed them, where more then willing to pass the decision up to mom and dad to sort out.

On the meeting stewards, whether FIA or not, they were judging the physical legality the car, or part of it. The brake ducts are technically legal. It is the sourcing of them that is the problem. As they aren’t charged with checking this on a race weekend, indeed it would be impractical, it is clear why they found no problem with them. It strikes me that challenging this after a race is the only reasonable way to do it.

I don’t see how any of this suddenly requires the FIA to release the details around the Ferrari ruling last year. Why would anything else be revisited?

None of the above is a comment on whether RP did anything wrong, or did everything right. Just a desire to understand the situation better.

The stewards of the meeting have neither the skills or resources to adjudicate a technical decision of this nature, they are not full time and are not qualified, which is why the decision was held over from Hungary.
The FIA made a ruling and handed it down for publication.

Essentially mom and dad made the decision and one of the kids taped it up on the wall.

Toto explained that their engine bill would include all the legal fees necessary to clear RP from their action, and to compensate RP for all the lost revenue from lost WCC points.
No point in now in McLaren pursuing the action.

You're right, normally a local added to the permanent pair but they're all FIA Stewards as a group, appointed by and representing the FIA.

The decision does seem quite vague and contradictory in many ways - not unusual for stewards to sit on the fence in matters of higher complexity or bigger stakes and it sounds like that may be what has happened here.

To be pedantic McLaren this year are using Renault power, but yes McLaren will switch to Merc next year and so are in the 'favour loop'.

Because as the ultimate regulator, the FIA has a duty to treat everyone equally. You cannot treat one alleged breach as a confidential matter with no apparent penalty and have another played out in public with a visible penalty. Cosy confidential 'settlements' simply undermine the whole regulatory process.

If I were Lawrence Stroll, I would want to know why Ferrari were treated confidentially and I am sure their legal team would use this to discredit the way the FIA regulates.

I think Williams will do the same - despite all her enthusiasm for F1's DNA, she won't want to be out on a Mercedes limb, surely.

I suppose the irony of those left protesting is that RP on a relative shoestring, have done a better job producing a 'similar concept' to the 2019 Mercedes, than Ferrari and Renault have with their 2020 cars and substantial budgets.

F1 was doing so well, getting the season underway in not the easiest of circumstances and making sure everything runs smoothly as possible. We have had some great racing to keep us entertained, which is just what we needed after so long without it

Then this happens and turns into a complete farce, which does F1 and it's participants no credibility. I really feel the FIA need to make sure this whole saga dies down so that this season can be remembered for the racing and how it handled a difficult situation in the world and not about RP's brake ducts

The only time that Ferrari have really benefited from their huge budget was the era when unlimited testing was rampant.They threw so many parts at their car and did such huge mileage that some of it actually worked,even if they may have been mystified as to why.Had they understood what was going on they might have been better placed to work out how to build a competitive car without all the testing and they were running over 350 days of the year.


The question of why nobody else used their photographs of the 2019 Mercedes to better effect is one that will probably be asked in the boardrooms of several sponsors and parent companies.I really wish the excuses offered would be made public.

Williams will not appeal RP case so that leaves Renault and Ferrari as the only teams against RP so I guess we won't known the final results for this year until after we have a Covid 19 vaccine.
