FIA to Ferrari- your engine is too fast, we can’t prove how. But its not letting Hamilton win 8 titles so stop using it.
FIA to Racing Point - Your brake ducts are illegal and we can prove it. But keep using them because you can’t unlearn what you already know from Merc.
Joke.
Let's get specific. The rear brakes were hand delivered and copied and illegal. The rest of the car was copied by photo's of the W10 from Racing Point...so they say.
The engine is a technical regulation with Ferrari....so a "slap on the wrist" plus another "nanny" to monitor the situation.
The brake ducts are a sporting regulation so the fine and 7.5pts each car from the constructors points.
But yes, Racing Point can still use the illegal rear brake ducts the rest of the season. Maybe that rule needs to change. Some of the FIA rules are antiquated.
It's not how start but how you finish.
