One of the big talking points during the 2020 season for some time was the controversy surrounding allegations that Racing Point had illegally copied Mercedes’ 2019 championship-winning car. New rules have since been introduced to stop this. It now seems that they may be courting new controversy by planning to upgrade their suspension without spending any tokens. The suspension would normally require tokens but Racing Point can use a loophole as has now been explained by the team’s technical director Andrew Green Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugx_QoSuVz59t6HYfch4AaABCQ 0:00 - Racing Point’s Latest Controversial Plan 1:40 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Racing Point’s Latest Controversial Plan Green began by explaining how copying isn’t something exclusive to them “We keep looking at the other cars and looking for new ideas or inspiration. If other teams claim they won't and come up with all their own ideas, then they are dreaming” He then pointed out the recent upgrades introduced by Renault which allegedly draws inspiration from the Mercedes car “Has anyone complained that they have copied it? The same applies to Renault. The whole front part of the car is the copying and pasting of the Mercedes concept. The teams that shout the loudest copy the most” He then explained why they accepted the punishment they were handed for copying the 2019 Mercedes “This is a kind of peace treaty. What we had done had upset some people. Although we have never done anything illegal” Green then revealed that they can introduce an upgrade to the suspension without using any of their available tokens “I think we can continue with that. The rules allow it and so we will continue with the plans. We've also checked with the FIA and they don't think there is a problem” He signed off by explaining why “The regulations allow teams to upgrade their cars to the 2020 specifications, so that seems fair to us. We chose to drive the 2019 suspension before the corona crisis, and that shouldn't be used against us now” Fast Feed 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg has “heard that” Renault “have had a breakthrough in the wind tunnel, at the rear near the diffuser” “As a result, the team now has more aerodynamic options. They have made great strides and improved their grip significantly” Williams’ George Russell feels that a two-day race weekend “would be a little bit chaotic” but also added that “three practices and four hours of practice is too much. Two sessions would be nice” He further added that when “you make a mistake in the simulator, you press the reset button and start again. In reality, you give your mechanics a bit of work, to put it mildly” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner thinks that “F1 has decisions to make about what the future is” and feels that they “have to reduce the variability between the engines” He also added that they “have to be careful that F1 doesn’t become a dinosaur though” so that the future generations will “still fall in love with the sport” McLaren’s Carlos Sainz has stated that “Red Bull is Red Bull, it has its way of doing things, and they have helped many drivers, about 50 or 60, with money that they all appreciate” He, however, added that “they also set very high standards. You had to win or you were kicked out” He further revealed that “his father is demanding, but” he sees “him as understanding and good at giving guidance compared to [Helmut] Marko”, Red Bull’s advisor Is Red Bull too demanding with their junior drivers or are their expectations fair?
