Did Mercedes used DAS in 2018?

There is a rumour that Mercedes used DAS in 2018 Hungarian GP. What do you think about it?

Distortion caused by a water droplet on the camera lens.

braking zone on turn1: the steering wheel seems to move towards the drive

The cockpit opening and halo seem to move/change at the same time as the wheel. So probably just distortion.

Hungary is one of the most twisty tracks. I doubt DAS is very usefull there.

I’m sure it would have been spotted long before now and also used more than just on one occasion. So everything would suggest no.

But even if they did, it’s not banned.

It's just the roll of film in front of the lens being rolled, to a clean section, Really DAS has got some rival fans exercised! I just hope we're going to see it in action this year.

Probably not but what better place is there to try out the ergonomics of a telescopic column? Last year’s data set against this year’s expectation’s not too bad a ploy.
Thing is, to appreciate the upgrade you have to understand the adaptable differential. DAS is simply an enhancement of it, or vice versa. Difficult to tell really!
