Did Toto just say that someone was up someone's arse? :shock:

Yep 90% of teams up the rights holders arse in public but not in meetings.

He also sounded really angry that the RP isn’t allowed to pull the trick that the Haas was clearly allowed to do.

I couldn't agree more with Toto. Christian Horner is such a huge hypocrite. He always uses the platform constantly offered to him by his friends at Sky F1 to call out the other teams while pretending to care about the interest of the fans. I guess he knows most of the fans can't see through his lies.

Yet Toto gave the full details of last years car to the daughter team he is personally involved in. Oh no, they made it themselves, from pictures. So who is the big fat liar here. To to. Copied the first two letters.

OK don't make up garbage. Everything that Merc gave to RP last year was legal, because it was data/designs related to items RP purchased from Merc legally.

Clearly then you didn’t watch Christian’s interview in FP1? Where he said he’s fine with customer cars? And is paying close attention cause they would happily do the same thing with AT? But believe if you buy a car you’re not a manufacturer and so believes points should be allocated to the manufacturer accordingly? Oh ok, all very hypocritical.

(Ps I’m a Ferrari fan, I just call out BS when I see it)

Leclerc's medium tyre showing a line of blisters on the rears after 19 laps. It's going to be a two stopper, no doubt.
Being on the right side it is possible that it isn't blistering but actually pickup, the left side tires are far more stressed at Silverstone and this more susceptible to blistering. We saw front right pickup confused for blistering last week, and then we saw a spat of left side failures.

He was talking about the brake ducts wasn’t he? IIRC he said Mercedes loaned them some for wing tunnel purposes because RP’s were not ready.

I don't think Merc or RP have done anything wrong, but why would Merc give RP wind tunnel parts when those parts are supposed to be 60% scale. Did they provide the parts or the drawings? I know for sure that Merc provided the brake duct drawings for 2019, but did RP run Merc brake ducts last season? Or just in the wind tunnel before 2020?

It’s a situation that’s not going to change IMHO. The cabal as Wolff called them is 3 teams (Williams, Renault and McLaren). No way will Ferrari (Including Haas and Alfa Romeo), RedBull (Alfa Tauri) or Mercedes (Racing Point) want the status quo to change. It’s clear the FIA do but I think it’s going to be one hell of a fight over it!
