Doesn't it say teams have to declare upgrade 23 hours in advance of FP1...? I don't think will be that simple to get roundnevill3 wrote: ↑20 Feb 2022, 18:25In theory a team could introduce an upgrade during free practice that has not been declared and remove it before qualifying. having evaluated it for future use
The following race they could add back that upgrade without declaring it because it has been run previously
19.1 Day before on track running first practice
a) Each Competitor must provide a summary document to the Media Delegate listing
the name and brief description of all major aerodynamic and bodywork
components and assemblies that have not been run at a previous Event or TCC
and are intended to be run at the Event (requirements and format as defined by
the Media Delegate, in conjunction with the Commercial Rights Holder). This
summary document must be provided no later than twenty-three (23) hours prior
to the start of P1.
i) The contents of this document will remain with the FIA and the Commercial
Rights Holder and will not be provided to the media until the start of the preEvent Automobile Display.
